How can you make a science on little alchemy?

Answer 1

heres a basic example of what alchemy is...alchemy is basic science and heres an experiment to change water from liquid to solid with just a touch of a finger (literally).

Check tips!

Okay what you do is:

Gather the materials- bowl, jar, thermometer, ice, water, salt

step 1- fill the jar with cold water

step 2- fill the bowl with ice and pour salt over it ( to keep the ice from melting)

step 3-put the jar of water in the bowl BUT make sure the water line is below that of the ice. or in other words make sure the ice is taller than the water line.

step 4- put the thermometer in the jar and wait until the temperature is 30F

step 5- THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP! carefully take out the thermometer. try not to disturb the water. The SLOWLY take out the jar (any jumpy movements will disturb the perfect balance and effectively ruin your experiment. ) then set it down on a counter next to the jar.

step 6- take a small piece of ice (or your finger, though i wouldn't recommend it) and drop it in.

Step 7- watch as ice forms in front of your eyes with only a small touch. feel it, its real ice.

TIPS- please make sure it is 30F it wont work if its not. to get to that temperature it usually takes about 15 min.

AND THERE IS ALCHEMY!

Answer 2

Alchemy was abandoned because it didn't work. Some of the things that did work became chemistry. No one successfully turned lead into gold. Nor did anyone successfully create the philosopher's stone. Alchemy was basically chemistry with a lot of magic thrown into it. The alchemists were sorcerer want to be's. They attempted to conjure spirits, and use spells on chemicals that they believed contained magical properties, all in a vain attempt to convert base metals into something of greater value. Even Isaac newton, probably the greatest scientific mind of the last 500 years, accomplished nothing in alchemy, even though he experimented with it for decades.
