Characteristic
Gold(III) oxide (Au2O3) is the most stable oxide of gold. It is a red-brown, thermally unstable solid that decomposes at 160 °C. The hydrated form is weakly acidic and dissolves in concentrated alkali to form salts that are believed to contain the Au(OH)4− ion.
Chemical formula:Au2O3
Molar mass:441.93g/mol
Appearance:red-brown solid
Density:11.34 g/cm3 at 20 °C
Melting point:160 °C (320 °F; 433 K) (decomposes)
Solubility in water:insoluble in water, soluble in hydrochloric and nitric acid
Crystal structure:Orthorombic
Application
It is used in aerospace and electrochemical applications such as fuel cells in which they exhibit ionic conductivity. It acts as strong reducing agent in redox reactions.
