Question

Aqua regia is a freshly prepared mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and concentrated nitric acid in the ratio of  __________.

  1. 1 : 3
  2. 3 : 1
  3. 4 : 1
  4. 1 : 4

hintHint:

3:1 ratio of concentrated hydrochloric acid and nitric acid is used to make aqua regia.

The correct answer is: 3 : 1


    Aqua regia is a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and concentrated nitric acid in the ratio 3:1. This mixture dissolves noble metals like gold and Platinum. It is made by combining one part concentrated nitric acid to three parts concentrated hydrochloric acid. It must be made fresh because it will decompose quickly.
