Hi Ed, one thing that came to mind, when you were heating your AuCl, did you have a watch glass (concave glass dish used as a cover, but won't be air tight) on the beaker? Did you bring it to a boil? If you brought it to a boil uncovered, then some of your valuables could have evaporated away. That might explain why you were a little low on the yield.

Woe there maybe i misunderstood
But i dont think so
You said "i am not using any copper"
But you are that's what the gold is
plated to, without the copper you
would never have had Cu(2)Cl
You said " . I'm pretty sure all of the peroxide
was used up during the 1st phase of the AP
process. I'm certain all or most of the bleach was
driven out when I heated IT up"
Now had you said when i heated up
The auric chloride instead of the word
It (reffering to the sentance above )
I would have undwrstood.
Its difficult for me to argue about symantics
When i am using my phone.
I apologize if I read your words wrong
I'm just glad we were not talking
about explosives and I gave you the wrong information
