The sulfuric acid will work better to dissolve iron, if it is about 10% H2SO4, if the iron solution is evaporated and crystallized to green ferrous sulfate FeSO4:10H2O we see in this formula for one mole of iron it will take one mole of sulfuric acid H2SO4, and since our solution we dissolve the iron in is 90% water, we are really not using that much acid to dissolve the iron.
Gold is probably the most treasured of the so-called precious metals, having been used in art and jewelry for centuries and more recently finding applications in medicine, coins and elsewhere.
