Answers

Answered by aloksingh17801980

Answer:

Gold is stable to even strong acids, but a special combination of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid can dissolve it. This combination is known as "aqua regia", which is latin for "royal water," because of it's special ability to dissolve gold.

Answered by SakshiRPS

Explanation:

The gold reacts only with the concentrated acid mixture which is referred to as aqua regia (royal water). Here are three samples of gold. We add concentrated hydrochloric acid on the left, concentrated nitric acid on the right, and a mixture of the two in the middle.
