Ordinary acids can't, so you need a unique acid mix called Aqua Regia. The mix is made from hydrochloric and nitric acid in a ratio of 3:1. When heat is added, the reaction takes off, and soon, no gold bar is left. Once dissolved, it is then dried, forming crystals. We dissolve a crystal in water, then add ammonium hydroxide to produce a cloudy precipitate, our explosive gold compound. The precipitate is then transferred out and dried. The gold is now a super reactive compound; even the wrong bump could set it off. Heating it slightly causes an explosion. The gold gives off distinctive purple plumes, which are gold particles. Confining and heating the gold makes a loud bang.
