Aqua regia + Iron reaction?
I want to react Iron with aqua regia. Anyone knows what are the products of such a reaction? And can this reaction still occur if I use dilute acids?
like 10% nitric acid and 10% HCL concentrated acids?

Why would you waste aqua regia on iron, when iron reacts readily with ordinary hydrochloric acid?
Please remember: "Filtrate" is not a verb.
Write up your lab reports the way your instructor wants them, not the way your ex-instructor wants them.

You're better off just using hydrochloric acid alone, as nitric acid and hydrochloric acid will give a mixture of iron nitrates and iron chlorides, as
well as iron oxides from oxidation.
Also, iron passivates in conc. HNO3.
