Does gold dissolves in acid other than aqua regia?

Gold is generally resistant to most acids due to its low reactivity. However, it can dissolve in a few specific acids, such as a mixture of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid (aqua regia), which is the most well-known solvent for gold. Other than aqua regia, gold can also dissolve in certain complexing agents like cyanide, but this is not typical of traditional acids. In general, gold does not dissolve in simple acids like hydrochloric or sulfuric acid.


Will nitric acid dissolve other metals out of the gold?

Yes, nitric acid can dissolve other metals from gold through a process called aqua regia. This mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid is particularly effective in dissolving a variety of metals, leaving behind the gold.
