It depends on how the solution is made. The typically noted makeup is a 1:3 ratio of nitric acid to hydrochloric acid. You could technically make aqua regia with different ratios of component acids, but the reactions wouldn't proceed at a ideal or predictable rate.

Chemical composition for Aqua regia?

Aqua regia is a highly corrosive mixture of concentrated nitric acid and concentrated hydrochloric acid, typically in a ratio of 1:3. It is used to dissolve noble metals such as gold, platinum, and palladium due to its powerful oxidizing properties.


What is the corrosive mix used in metallurgy?

One common corrosive mix used in metallurgy is a solution of hydrochloric (HCl) acid and nitric acid (HNO3), known as aqua regia. This mixture is capable of dissolving noble metals like gold and platinum due to its strong oxidizing properties. Aqua regia is often used to test the purity of precious metals and in certain refining processes.


Latin name for a mixture of 3 parts hydrochloric acid and one part nitric acid?

The mixture of HNO3 and HCl in a 1:3 ratio respectively is known as "aqua regia". Although both component acids are clear, they form an orange solution when mixed. Aqua regia is highly corrosive and is most often used to dissolve gold...it's about the only thing that will.


Will mylar dissolve in aqua regia acid solution?

No, mylar is a type of polyester film that is resistant to most chemicals, including aqua regia. Aqua regia is a highly corrosive mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid commonly used to dissolve noble metals like gold and platinum, but it will not dissolve mylar.


What is the composition properties and uses of aqua regia?

Aqua Regia is a 3:1 ratio of HCl (hydrochloric acid) and HNO3 (nitric acid). Ex. 300 mL HCl with 100 mL HNO3. As far as uses, I just recently used it as a cleaning agent for glassware in a research project for the Navy. For other uses, I'm sure websites can help, but cleaning is all I've ever heard it being used for.

Aqua regia or royal water (mixture of conc. HCl and conc. HNO3 in the ratio of 3:1 by volume) 3HCl + HNO3 = NoCl+2 H2O + Cl . NoCl= nitrosyl chloride Cl= nascent chlorine


What is the chemical composition of aqua regia?

It is actually a mixture of Nitric acid and Hydrochloric acid with some other components, so, its pure composition cannot be obtained. The chemical composition of Aqua regia is following reaction .i,e HNO3+3HCl = 2H2O +NOCl + Cl2.
