hlo hope it helps you

aqua regia is the answer

Explanation:Although gold is typically an inert metal, it will dissolve in aqua regia because of the unique action of nitric and hydrochloric acid. ... Once this ionic form is present in the solution, the hydrochloric acid provides a source of chlorine anions which react with the gold cations to form tetrachloroaurate(III) anions
