HEY --:-) :-) :-) :-) --DEAR YOUR '---ANSWER----'''
Aqua regia is a mixture of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and nitric acid (HNO
3
) at a ratio of either 3:1 or 4:1. It is a reddish-orange or yellowish-orange fuming liquid. The term is a Latin phrase, meaning "king's water". The name reflects the ability of aqua regia to dissolve the noble metals gold, platinum, and palladium. Note aqua regia will not dissolve all noble metals. For example, iridium and tantalum are not dissolved.
It is used to dissolve gold and platinum, in the method of extraction and purification of these metals--:-) :-) -:-) :-) :-) ---
