How do you make lead in 2 gold?
Lead cannot be turned into gold. Lead can only be turned into more lead, and more lead can only be turned into even more lead. Lead cannot be magically turned into gold.
Who was the alchemist who tried to turn lead into gold?
Many ancient scientists tried to achieve that. One of the supreme quests of alchemy is to transmute lead into gold. Lead (atomic number 82) and gold (atomic number 79) are defined as elements by the number of protons they possess. Changing the element requires changing the atomic (proton) number. The number of protons cannot be altered by any chemical means. However, physics may be used to add or remove protons and thereby change one element into another. Because lead is stable, forcing it to release three protons requires a vast input of energy, such that the cost of transmuting it greatly surpasses the value of the resulting gold. Transmutation of lead into gold isn't just theoretically possible - it has been achieved! There are reports that Glenn Seaborg, 1951 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, succeeded in transmuting a minute quantity of lead (possibly en route from bismuth, in 1980) into gold. There is an earlier report (1972) in which Soviet physicists at a nuclear research facility near Lake Baikal in Siberia accidentally discovered a reaction for turning lead into gold when they found the lead shielding of an experimental reactor had changed to gold.
How separate lead gold mixture to gold?
FIRE ;)
Who were the people that tried to make lead into gold?
Alchemists, are the ones who tried to turn lead into gold.
Which has more mass an atom of gold or lead?
the lead atom is heavier, but it also bigger. therefore the density of lead is less than that of gold
How much does it cost to change lead into gold?
Lead can be turned into gold by changing the number of protons in the lead. This is done through physics and it difficult to do. It is not a process that is done by a jeweler but a physicist and can e expensive.
What will the philosophers stone do?

Where can i go to get gold separated from a lead-gold mixture?
Lead is dissolved in nitric acid, gold not.
What was the proces of transforming lead into gold?
There is no process to make gold out of lead.
What is the difference in being imaginative in science and in pseudoscience?
science is real and pseudoscience is fake
Why is phrenology considered a pseudoscience?
Why is phrenology considered a pseudoscience
Which type of science is a pseudoscience?
Science is not pseudoscience. The former is authentic, the latter is fake.
How do you turn lead into gold?
Sell it, buy gold for the money. Technically is impossible to obtain gold from lead.
Why cant lead be made into gold?
Before Chemistry was a science, there was Alchemy. One of the supreme quests of alchemy is to transmute lead into gold. Lead (atomic number 82) and gold (atomic number 79) are defined as elements by the number of protons they possess. Changing the element requires changing the atomic (proton) number. The number of protons cannot be altered by any chemical means. However, physics may be used to add or remove protons and thereby change one element into another.

Which is heaviest gold or lead?
