Answer is: because they were using simple chemical reactions to transform elements, but that is possible only with nuclear reactions, which in that time were not possible to conduct.
Nuclear reactions can produce new elements, because number of protons and neutrons is changed, lead and gold have different atomic and mass numbers.
The electrons of an atom participates in a chemical reaction, chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of electrons, because there is transfer, loss, gain and sharing of electrons in chemical reactions, new elements are not formed.
Strength, the capacity of the invi elements
V2 = 250 ml
Explanation:
Given:
P1 = 0.99 atm. V1 = 240 ml
P2 = 0.951 atm. V2 = ?
We can use Boyle's law to solve for V2
P1V1 = P2V2
V2 = (P1/P2)V1
= (0.99 atm/0.951 atm)(240 ml)
= 250. ml
