Question about gold(3) chloride


Recommended Posts

It was a couple of days ago.

 

I'm almost sure DrP gave the only answer.

 

I was going to post a fuller one, but just can't find it.

 

Can't remember the title but the OP was interested in auric compounds in general and auric chloride in particular.

This was the text

Gold(III) chloride, traditionally called auric chloride, is a chemical compound of gold and chlorine. With the molecular formula Au2Cl6, the name gold trichloride is a simplification, referring to the empirical formula, AuCl3. The Roman numerals in the name indicate that the gold has an oxidation state of +3, which is common for gold compounds. There is also another related chloride of gold, gold(I) chloride (AuCl). Chloroauric acid, HAuCl4, the product formed when gold dissolves in aqua regia, is sometimes referred to as "gold chloride" or "acid gold trichloride". Gold(III) chloride is very hygroscopic and highly soluble in water as well as ethanol. It decomposes above 160 °C or in light.

 

At first glance it seems to have been lifted wholesale

There was no question. It was merely a ruse to get members to go to a dodgy site. If you wish to discuss gold (3) chloride feel free to open a thread - but the deleted thread was unmistakably spam
