I have another question for the forum, and I haven't found any answers yet.
I just made a boiling solution of HCl and the NaN03. I proceeded to process a pound of gold fingers through this solution. When I was finished, the solution faded from yellow to blue. This most likely occurred because of the copper traced underneath the gold in the fingers. Well, I don't know if this is a problem of not. All of the gold is dissolved into the solution, but so is the copper. From what I know, Copper Chloride isn't soluble, so it shouldn't be staying in solution. I also can't get the gold to drop when using the SMB. Was there some sort of complex ion formed? Is there a way to drop the gold?
Also, there is a strong scent of chlorine present.
