Image in infobox is not of chlorauric acid but of granular auric hydrochloride. Gubernatoria (talk) 03:10, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Body art

current revision states: "For example, it is infrequently used to place gold particles subcutaneously in body art." While this is intriguing, I can't find any evidence of this. I'm removing it until someone can find a source to support the claim. -Verdatum (talk) 15:51, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Natural occurrence

Given chlorine is abundant in water and minerals, is the acid found at trace levels in deep ocean water? Is it found in complex salts in areas with gold deposits?- Adam37 Talk 17:22, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Ambiguous article

About which compound is this article? Is this article about [H₅O₂]⁺[AuCl₄]⁻ (which is actually a salt of tetrachloroauric(III) acid, not the tetrachloroauric(III) acid itself) or H[AuCl₄] (which is the tetrachloroauric(III) acid) or one of their hydrates? Those two compounds are not the same. This article is water-chauvinistic. Ammonia, ethanol, urea and a bunch of other molecules of crystalisation or solvents can be involved, why assuming water???Bernardirfan (talk) 17:05, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
