Gold and sulphuric acid do not react at all.
Gold reacts only with Aqua Regia, which is a mixture of chloridic and nitric acid. The balanced reaction is shown below:
Au(s)+3HNO3(aq)+4HCl(aq)--> HAUCl4(aq)+3NO2(g)+3H20(l)

What happens if you put gold into sulfuric acid?
Nothing happens. Gold will not react with sulfuric acid.
Can you use sulfuric acid on gold?
Sulfuric acid would do nothing to gold, even when heated. Gold is completely invulnerable to acid corrosion, with only aqua regia as an expection.
What is the reaction of sulfuric acid mixed with gold?
Gold does not react with sulfuric acid.The only acid that gold reacts with is aqua regia: a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid, optimally in a molar ratio of 1:3.
What metal causes no reaction when reacting with sulfuric acid?
There are several metals which do not react with sulfuric acid; once such metal is gold.
Which acid you need to use for gold test hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid?
nitric acid

What happens when pure gold is dropped in concentrated sulfuric acid?
Nothing happens because gold doesn't react with sulfuric acid.

What salt will be made when gold metal put in sulfuric acid?
Nothing, gold doesn't react with sulphuric acid
What react with sulfuric acid to give zinc sulphate?
gold
Does sulphuric acid remove copper from gold?
i think very hot and boiling sulfuric acid can separate copper from gold
What is the balances equation for AU plus HCl?
Au is the symbol of gold, and it does not react with hydrochloric acid. It is only dissolved in Aqua Regia.
Why is cynide used in gold processing and not sulfuric acid or chloride solution?
Because the solubility of gold in cyanide solution is far greater. Sulfuric won't dissolve gold at all, and hydrochloric acid will only dissolve gold when used in conjunction with nitric acid, a mixture called aqua regia, which is pricey.
Why is there no reaction with gold and sulfuric acid?
This is because gold is not reactive enough. Metals below hydrogen in the reactive series will not react with sulphuric acid.
