Specifically, what happens to the platinum? There is a chemical reaction - an explosion - but what happens to the platinum? Is it a part of the reaction, and consumed by it? Or is it merely a catalyst, triggering the reaction but ultimately untouched?
If there are any chemists out there with facts, numbers or formulae it'd be appreciated, otherwise a generalized idea would be fine too. Just please no wild guesses, we could do that ourselves!
