The penny changed color because the copper that did remain had enough heat to mix in with the Zinc atoms and the levels of copper and zinc = brass. (Material Science Honors :D)
Keep in mind, using alchemy to turn things into gold is against the law as is a human transmutation. Think back to the mining town episode with Yoki. Oh Yoki.. XP
So...look I heard about alchemy in Fullmetal Alchemist, but I had a time that I tried to learn more about alchemy and I FAIL :( and please if you guys know some about alchemy tell me! My name's Felipe Oryon
Make sure you have the drain covered up before you put a penny in there, especially one that will turn to gold. ........ Damn I just read the description, I never really do!! XD
@nathanlovesjesus alchemy is real i've studied it and done it!Just because alchemy is used in an anime doesn't mean it's fake.If it's that case then every thing is fake!
@nathanlovesjesus alright just dont expect me to do it with a transmutation circle or something like that and also alchemy is like chemistry but way older its like from the 12th centry and also i need time so no rushies!^^
to bad its not real gold but in the time period alchemy was thought to work it would have fooled any body then and possibly people now who dont know this trick
lol i never payed attention in science, i just fucked around trying to burn shit, i wish i did pay attention cause chemistry can be extreamly useful knoledge inb the real world.
Very cool trick! The pennies really do look like gold! Very interesting chemistry there. I assume it's still copper, as you said in your description that it is not really gold?
@stupidjeloinc Im just saying as an alchemist yes the show is amazing but its not the same. you cannnot make something bigger than it is and its not like that...
Use a real copper penny next time and see what the color will be. They are real copper from 1980 and below. Anything above 1980 is copper plated nickel and aluminum. Just like the 1964 quarters and below are silver.
@spiritprofessor Actually the copper penny is 95% copper from early 1982 and before. A copper penny weighs 3.1grams and a zinc penny weigh 2.5 grams.Any penny made after mid 1982 and so on is 95% zinc.To tell if a 1982 penny is copper or zinc you will have to weigh the penny.
dude you arnt turning the pennies to gold you are just doing electroplating and putting a thin new layer of metal (hense the silver) and then changed the color of the layer to a gold color (you also made it harder). I have gold and silver (it used to be silver but the layer of metal came off) pennies on the necklace im wearing right now. Its a cool abd fun science experement though.
I found a far more effective and timely technique which produces the same results. First, go to a hardware store and pick up a can of gold paint. Second, place the penny on some newspaper. Finally, spray the paint on the penny, and there you go, you have a real gold penny. I prefer to paint my pennies red, and I call them "rose pennies." My logic is that roses are red, and my penny is now red, so it must be a rose penny.
one of the closest things to gold is lead which is just off by a couple of protons. it takes MASSIVE amounts of energy to get gold out of it. I doubt a flame could supply that kind of energy. ¬¬
ya stupid for saying thats retarted science experiment is alchemy but the fact that they are handling sodium hydroxide without gloves says much about that school "you are a qaulity person" not a quality teacher.
its not alchemy without a transmutation circle and thats not alchemy its regular sience and if you have the right chemicals you can do that i have done it and its very esay its called chemestry get that through your thick heads
@AxelDemyxZexion1 there are differant versions of alchemy... the version in fma are toatlly not real.... real alchemy is turning metal into a differant metal... like turning brass to gold of silver in this cass... so in my opinion your the one that needs to get some knowlege thought your think head..... that is if it fits in that tiny brain of yours
@rubyriaroo Actually, I think for alchemy you have you have all the material present, hence equivalent exchange. You can't just automatically turn silver to gold, you have to have all the components of gold present and enough of it.
@Milkshakethecat you have to have a certain amount of heat and/ or pressure. in folk tales and shows you can use magic or what they use in FMA, by that way do u know what FMA is? it's a show
@rubyriaroo -.- I'm obsessed with FMA... I don't think you understand what I am saying. There is no magic in FMA, per say. Although we cant do the things they do in that show, there is more logic than just "poof" something turned into something else. Alchemy has three major parts, Analyzing (Know what elements and such) Deconstructing, and reconstructing. There is no magic, because you can only use the materials present. A Philosophers Stone is what you could consider magic...
@rubyriaroo well me and my friends attempted alchemy from fma and it worked we have researched alot abouot it and it is real so don't tell me that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No offense, but why have your comment explain how you're stupid if you think it's real, and then include all kinds of keywords to trick morons who believe in alchemy?
It's incredibly depressing to meet these people who seem to think that alchemy is genuine.
you could get at least five bucks from a sucker on the street for these...
set up a stall and say they are a rare collector's penny minted in whatever year the penny is from, made entirely from gold... just make sure it is a torist area and you couldn't go wrong,
I haven't taken any chemistry, but I have worked a bit in jewelry making and I am guessing the penny is coated by the filings becasue the copper causes an electric charge in the acid which in turn is disolving the filings enough to transfer filing metal to the penny. I don't know what the rapid cooling is about, but I am sure the subsequent heating under a flame is the oxidation that causes the gold color. I would really like to know what actually happens though.
@animeisthecoolest Umm this is basic alchemy real alchemy is not magic or magic potions of power lol its changing metal in different ways and creating herb related things. Nothing like the FMA crap
@talkron300 No. Alchemy was the belief that you could change metals into other metals in the middle ages. People spent tons of time trying to change all kinds of metals into gold. There is no such thing as "real alchemy". There are a bunch of really stupid books, morons, and websites made by science class dropouts who claim that alchemy is actually some new age herbal nonsense, but guess what.. It's bullshit. Stay in school kids, you won't make a fool of yourself by taking alchemy seriously.
