Question

In addition to reacting with gold (see Problem 21.21), aqua regia is used to bring other precious metals into solution. Balance the skeleton equation for the reaction with Pt:Pt(s) + NO₃⁻(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) → PtCl₆²⁻(aq) + NO(g)

Answer 1

Aqua regia is used to bring precious metals into the solution .

$3Pt(s)+ 4NO^{-} _{3} (aq)+18 Cl^{-} (aq) +16H^{+} =3Pt Cl^{2-} _{6} (aq) +4NO(g) +8 H_{2} O$

This is the balanced reaction of Pt (platinum) .

What is aqua regia ?

It is a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and hydrochloric acid .there is three part of concentrated HCl and 1 part of concentrated nitric acid .

it is red or yellowish liquid . it is extremely corrosive and can cause skin burns . it is frequently used to dissolve gold and platinum .

The equation of reaction of aqua regia with gold :

$Au + 4H^{+} +NO^{-} _{3} +4Cl^{-} =AuCl^{-} _{4} +NO +2H_{2} O$
