Heya mate..

Explaination:

Aquaregia : Description

Aqua regia is a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid, optimally in a molar ratio of 1:3. Aqua regia is a yellow-orange fuming liquid, so named by alchemists because it can dissolve the noble metals gold and platinum, though not all metals.

Formula: HNO3+3 HCl

Boiling point: 108 °C

Solubility in water: Miscible

Uses:

Since aqua regia can completely dissolve gold, it’s used to produce chloroauric acid, which, in turn, is used as the electrolyte in a process for purifying the highest quality gold. Aqua regia is also used for metal etching and cleaning lab equipment (especially glassware of organic compounds).

Aqua regia is an integral part of the extraction and purification processes of gold and platinum.

Hope this answer helps you and have a great day ahead.
