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.
Gold can be turned into a variety of gold compounds. Most easily it can be turned into chloroauric acid by immersing it in aqua regia, a mixture of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid.
FIRE ;)
Alchemists, are the ones who tried to turn lead into gold.
the lead atom is heavier, but it also bigger. therefore the density of lead is less than that of 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.
It is impossible to turn lead into gold without restructuring it at a molecular level, so no philosopher has ever achieved this feat.
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.
turn stuff into goldAlchemists tried to make gold from other non-gold metals, lead in particular. These tries turned out to teach us a lot about chemistry.
In Greek mythology, King Midas turned everything he touched into gold with his magical touch. However, he soon realized the consequences of his gift, as even his loved ones and food turned to gold at his touch.
Midas' touch turned everything to gold.
Lead is dissolved in nitric acid, gold not.
There is no process to make gold out of lead.
Midas' touch turned everything to gold.
no it cant
Both metals are just as easy as the other to turn into gold, because neither of these metals can be turned into gold. What you are referring to is Alchemy, and is not real/possible/plausible. Some alternatives may include: Just buying some gold, or you can try using magic.
Sell it, buy gold for the money. Technically is impossible to obtain gold from lead.
