HAuCl4 said:Not sure what the reaction is exactly, but it isn't that one. The reaction is with ammonium oxalate which is what you get by raising pH to 6 with ammonia. fwiw.
Now i'm not sure either.
I'm just playing around now with these equations... maybe a chemist could advise?
HAuCl4 + Na2C2O4 = Au + CO2 + HCl + NaCl
HAuCl4 + C2H8N2O4 = Au + CO2 + HCl + NH4Cl
Nice dtectr, i haven't seen this video... i guess the keyword here is "hypnotic" :mrgreen:
It really is....
And you got this effect using SMB? Cool.
Without going into the maths, this would depend on how much of each you add and their end solubilities within your mix. Equillibrium is the solutions goal. I would say a mixture of both, how much each, pass. Someone with a better understanding of solubility products should be able to crunch some numbers for you. Just need the concentration of each of your reactants.
