Overview | Gold oxide is also known as gold oxide. (1) Au2O3 = 441.93, black powder, normal temperature exposure gradually decomposed. When heated to 160 ℃, partial oxygen loss becomes oxidized gold, and completely oxygen loss becomes elemental gold at 250 ℃. (2) Au2O3 3H2O = 496.00 brown powder, heat to 100 ℃ and lose 1.5 molecular crystal water. Both are insoluble in water and can be dissolved in hydrochloric acid, concentrated nitric acid, sodium hydroxide or sodium cyanide solution. Easily reduced to elemental gold by carbon monoxide or hydrogen peroxide. It is prepared by heating gold hydroxide at 140~150 ℃ to constant weight. |
use | gold oxide can be used as a chemical reagent, and also used for glazing porcelain. Used for porcelain glazing, etc. |
