Au2O3 := A very weak acid
Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
The oxide formed in gold is neither an acid nor a base. Gold oxide (Au2O3) is considered to be amphoteric, which means it can exhibit characteristics of both an acid and a base depending on the reaction it undergoes. It can react with both acids and bases to form different compounds.

Does gold react with oxygen is the oxide that is formed an acid or a base?
Gold does not react directly with oxygen, however if you succeed in getting gold oxide indirectly, it decomposes at 205C. The oxide is neither acid nor base however gold ions are acidic (like protons are acidic)
Is gold an acid or base?
Gold is neither an acid nor a base, according to most definitions of acidity.
When nitric acid is added to detect the presence of copper present in ornamental gold. what is the compound of copper formed. why does not gold change?
when niric acid is added to copper the compound formed will be copper nitrite,gold does not change because nitric acid will not react with gold,but it react with any other materials.thish is the reason why gold does not change sathish s sathya
What is geberilic acid?
Used to change base metals into gold.
What is the ionic compound name for Au2O?
Au2O does not exist. However, a compound name would be 'Gold(1) Oxide'. The main oxide of gold is 'Au2O3' Gold (III) Oxide. However, gold is a very inert metal, to the point of being found native as nuggets.

What is the formula for the compound gold and oxide?
Gold(III)Oxide is Au2O3
What is the compound name for Au2O3?
If it existed it would be gold(II) oxide. The stable gold oxide is gold(III) oxide Au2O3
What is gold . element compound mixture?
Gold is definitely an element. It is listed in the Periodic Table of elements. It does form compounds e.g. gold oxide. or it can be alloyed(mixed) with base metals to harden it.
Is it possible for chickens to digest gold?
No.Related Information:There is nothing in the digestive system of a hen that can react with gold. Hydrochloric acid is produced in the proventriculus (true stomach) to help digestion. But while hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, by itself, it can't react directly with gold to dissolve or digest it. However, it will remove any oxide from the gold, so after passing through a chicken, it will be real shiny.

What is an fact about metal?
Pure metal is weaker than alloyed metal. ! and zinc oxide + Gold = zinc oxide + gold. !
