At the moment, I am not sure why. I did this experiment and no reaction seemed to take place; there was no noticeable change. I have been doing research and everyone says that it does react, but I have no clue.

∙ 11y agoGold (Au) is extremely inactive and insoluble in acids. Any surface discoloration you might detect when immersed in HCl is likely due to the acid attacking trace amounts of any assorted crud on the surface of you metal sample.
Gold is however, soluble in Aqua Regia.

∙ 15y agobecause they do not have any sufficient electron to give the acid anion. that's why they do not react with the acids

∙ 11y agoBecause hydrochloric is an acid which mean an acid cannot react with metal

What does gold react to?
One of the only things that will react with gold is aqua regia, a mixture of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid.
Do all metals react with hydrochloric acid to give hydrogen gas?
No, inert metals as Gold, Platinum and Palladium do not react with hydrochloric acid.
What could happen if gold is placed in dilute hydrochloric acid?
Nothing, gold does not react with hydrochloric acid, if there are impurities of other metals in gold then impurities may react and form chloride salts.
What metals don't react with hydrochloric acid?
Gold and platinum. 'Aqua regia' is a mixture of trhe acids, hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. This mixture will react with these metals.
Metal which does not react with hydrochloric acid?
Copper, Silver and gold.
How gold react with hydrochloric acid?
Gold react with aqua regia not with hydrochloric acid.

Copper, Silver and gold.
Which metal will not react readily with hydrochloric acid?
Gold , Silver and copper. Copper can be made to react witg 16M nitric acid. Gold can be made to reract with 'Aqua-regia' a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid .
What metal does not react with dilute hydrochloric acid?
Gold (Au = Aurum).
Do hydrochloric acid and silver react?
Silver does not react with hydrochloric acid.
Which metal doesn't react with nitric acid?
Nitric Acid cannot react with Gold alone. The only solution that can dissolve Gold is Aqua Regia; a combination of Nitric Acid and Hydrochloric Acid.
What are the chemical reactions with real gold and fool's gold?
Fool's gold--iron pyrite--will react with Hydrochloric acid. Real gold does not.
What is pumice's reaction to hydrochloric acid?
Pumice does not react with hydrochloric acid.
