Distillation.
Alchemists couldn't prove they couldn't make gold with science because they lacked the understanding of atomic structure and chemical reactions necessary to explain why it was impossible to create gold through their methods.
alchemists only believed that their was a philosophers' stone
To turn lead into gold, and to create the philosopher's stone.

gunpowder, or the interaction of sulfur,saltpeter, and charcoal

The alchemists were the first chemists. They mixed chemicals, but also believed that magic would help them in their experiments and formulas. It didn't. But their chemical experiments eventually led to the science of chemistry.
Chinese alchemists used sulfur in their attempts to create the elixir of immortality by combining it with other substances. They believed that sulfur possessed magical properties and could aid in achieving eternal life.
Cerium was not known by alchemists.
A Liebig condenser is better than alchemists' equipment because it is a more efficient and practical tool for condensing vapors by using a straight tube design with a larger cooling surface area. Alchemists' equipment, on the other hand, was often improvised and less effective for controlled chemical reactions. Additionally, Liebig condensers are more durable and easier to clean compared to the equipment used by alchemists.
The Middle Ages. They were trying to convert lead into gold, and to create the philosopher's stone.
The alchemists were unaware that atoms even existed.
