After <strong>gold</strong> is dissolved, ascorbic acid is added to reduce I 2 .<br />

I 2 ⇒ 2I -<br />

This reduction results in deficiency <strong>of</strong> I 3 - , HOS begins to<br />

behave as “poor-solvent” for <strong>gold</strong>. A dark brown color <strong>of</strong> HOS<br />

is lost reflecting depletion <strong>of</strong> I 3 - . Gold can be precipitated.<br />

Hydrogen peroxide liquid (H2O2) can be oxidized the above solution.<br />

2 I − → I 2<br />

The system turns into original HOS which can dissolve <strong>gold</strong>.
