I tried searching the internet for a thing called liquid gold, (some of you might know what it is but if you don't) what liquid gold is, is it's a type of very strong acid. Now I was searching on how to make it and stuff, but I guess Liquid Gold is a slang term for it, any of you guys know what's its real name? Also what is it made out of.

And you're still wrong. It's aqua regia aka nitro-chloric acid.

My only regret was that i should have read the page rather then just the header. *dies*

I think that's using the term differently, because I know that liquid gold is used by theives, and it's nicknamed that because it can disolve almost anything.

Also to make it you have to mix your stomache acid with another acid, but I can't remember which.

Was it really necessary to post three post in a row?

I've heard of it, but I only know the one Gantic mentioned. I have no idea what the other one your thinking of is... O_o

Can't find anything about what you're talking about, Somewhat, but I did find out that "Liquid Gold" was the name of an English disco group from Northamptonshire which was active between 1977-1984.

I guess if "acid" was to reach your stomach acid, you might very well enjoy a bit of disco music, but I don't think it will dissolve that much.

Anyways, it's possible master was on to something with his link, as these are quotes from it:

Chloroauric acid is obtained by the oxidation of gold in the presence of chloride, as in aqua regia.


And further down:

during World War II, a Hungarian chemist living in Denmark, George de Hevesy, dissolved two fellow scientists' Nobel Prizes in aqua regia literally as the Nazis stormed into Copenhagen so they wouldn't be stolen


Nothing about stomach acid, though.

The acid in stomach acid is hydrochloric acid, one of the components of aqua regia.

I browsed on google, type of acid, hydrochloric or another sort. Kept researching and found some inappropriate website.

Link to that?


Wiki: The mixture is formed by freshly mixing concentrated nitric acid and hydrochloric acid, usually in a volume ratio of 1:3, respectively.
