  • Aqua Regia: Composition, Formula & Preparation
    Aqua regia does not have a specific chemical formula because it is a mixture, not a pure compound.

    However, it's typically prepared by mixing concentrated nitric acid (HNO₃) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) in a molar ratio of 1:3.

    The most common formula used to represent the mixture is:

    HNO₃ : HCl (1:3)

    This indicates the relative proportions of the two acids in the mixture.
