If an alchemist could use Stoichiometry to convert lead in to gold. The first to explain this shall get a gift!

No, because lead(Pb) and Gold(Au) are both separate elements on the periodic table.

Since gold is an element on it's own and not a compound, no amount of gold can be created with any amount of other elements or by combining other elements with lead

If you used a compound with both lead and gold and split it into certain amount of gold and a certain amount of lead, that could be the only thing possible

but gold and lead are both metals so can't form ionic bonds

since they're both metals I don't think they can do covalent bonding either but that would take some math to figure out ratios or wtv and how that would work with gold's one valence electron but both being metals, they'd need a bunch to get to anything, and one gold can only share with one lead atom bc it has one valence electron only and maybe with the lead in the middle but idk...

I don't think it's possible

Only thing you didn't mention is moles!

Only thing you didn't mention is moles!

that would be based on the weight of the compound divided by molar mass of gold times moles of gold plus lead times moles of lead if such a compound was possible, but I don't think it is, and math

OMG, I love you. I say moles to other people and they think I'm talking about the skin condition! Thank you for being nerdy! Do you do cards? You can have a rare card as long as it's not from a set I'm working on.

Lol I remember a tiny bit from Honors Chemistry

Are you sure? Lol ofc, I'm cards team after all If you're sure which sets that you have rares of are you not collecting? I think you like mamamoo so I'm asking since you have a hwasa solo rare

I can part with Hwasa.

I can part with Hwasa.

ah ok if you're sure you wanna give a rare

Yes
