Detailed Solution
Aquaregia is a mixture of conc.HCl and conc.HNO3 in 3:1 ratio. When gold dissolves in aquaregia, the species formed is AuCl4- in which gold is in +3 oxidation state. Au+HNO3+4HCl→H++AuCl4−+2H2O+NOIn the absence of air the reaction between gold and aquaregia NO2 will not be produced. Yellow colour is due to the presence of NOCl and Cl2.
