You're all over the map here. Gold, mercury, iodine, germanium, arsenic, sulfur, all thrown together haphazardly with no discernible rhyme or reason.
All that plus impure reagents where you have no idea what is in them. As forgottenpassword asked, what is the purpose of all this? If you have no idea
what you are doing mixing things at random, then you're bound to have no idea what products you'll end up with. Working with scary stuff like mercury
and arsenic compounds, this is the last thing you want to be doing. Who knows what kind of volatile toxic compounds you might create?
Slow down, take some deep breaths, and start over. Come up with a plan. Write down what you think will happen. Document your steps. You must follow
the scientific method if you want to do science. If you can't make your experiments repeatable, there isn't much point.
Garbage in, garbage out.
