Trivia: What ancient science tried to turn lead into gold?
Humorism
Alchemy
Phlogiston
Electrochemical dualism
The correct answer is Alchemy
So why is this answer correct? : Gold is one of the most precious metals in the world, so you can forgive scientists for trying to cheat the system and find ways to turn base metals like lead into noble metals like gold. Called “alchemy,” this process employed the use of a philosopher’s stone to perform the tricky transmutation — ultimately to no avail.
