Full Metal Alchemist is a show that revolves around alchemy. Alchemy is also something that existed in the real world. Although Full Metal Alchemist (FMA) is just a show, it shares some very interesting similarities to real alchemy, such as the concept of transmuting elements, creating a “philosopher’s stone”, and the pursuit of immortality. The two also have some stark differences such as the process of creating a philosopher’s stone, the purpose and uses of alchemy, and the political significance of alchemy in FMA. They both have some similarities that they share but they also remain very different in many ways. In the science of alchemy all alchemists practiced transmutation. They sought a way to change base metals into precious metals. In FMA the alchemist they had the power to change base metals to gold. This is a process that can be done in the real world. In order to change Lead (Pb) to Gold (Au) it requires particle acceleration to release three protons from lead therefore changing the atomic number of the atom from 82 to 79. This process will then change the lead to gold. In FMA they use another form of energy to accelerate the particles and they can change lead to gold almost instantly. That is a form of transmutation that they both share. …show more content…
The philosopher’s stone is a legendary relic in both the show and real life. It is said to hold incredible properties. In both the show and real life people wished to create a philosopher’s stone to use its powers. A big important similarity between the philosopher’s stone in the show and in real life is it’s healing properties. In real life the philosopher’s stone is a cure for all illness, just as it is in the show. Not only would it be a healing tool but it also was something that would give immortality to the wielder. In both the show and in real life the stone was said to give immortality and divine
The alchemist: The alchemist is a two hundred year old man. He is a serious and powerful master of alchemy, the study of transforming base metals into gold.
The Chemy Called Al is a story of a mysterious, unrealistic world that uses puns and interesting ways to teach Chemistry but not in a way that will be boring to a student or in that case, anyone trying to learn about this science. There is a variety of concepts that we have learned this school year all the way from the Periodic Table, the states of matter, and all the way to the way that math problems and formulas are vital to discovering things within the world of science. So to say the least, The Chemy called Al mixes real
“After having made a few preparatory experiments, he concluded with a panegyric upon modern chemistry, the terms of which I shall never forget: ‘The ancient teachers of this science,’ said he, ‘promised impossibilities and performed nothing. The modern masters promise very little; they know that metals cannot be transmuted and that the elixir of life is a chimera but these philosophers, whose hands seem
Alchemy can be described in multiple ways. One way that alchemy is portrayed is as a “primitive precursor” for modern science and medicine practices (Bobory & Rampling, 2012). The practical and experimental side
1) What is alchemy? What processes were involved? Who performed it and why? Who were the famous alchemists of the medieval period?
From a machining standpoint, .0620/.0625 hole is not likely to be doable. We would typically drill and ream this hole, which would not necessarily be a problem. However, trying to hold a .0005 total tolerance without bore mics to accurately check the hole size is a big issue. The reamer would be .06225 ideally and with only having plug gages to check it the .00025 size difference of the pin would be problematic in determining good vs bad

Alchemy, as described in the story, is the study of creating the perfect metal, gold. Al, the "chemy-lion", describes Alchemy as achieving perfection of any kind, whether it be spiritually, mentally, physically, or even chemically. This part of the book sets the mood for the overall lesson the reader is supposed to attain. In chapter three, the elements hold a meeting for Julie, however they call her "Human!". She 's describing her problem in her world to the elements during the meeting. They trace the issues back to chemistry. Although not officially proclaimed as the problem, but more as a solution. With the help of an old friend, Kalium, Julie is able to try and save the world from the catastrophes of the modern day. In the third chapter, it is revealed to the reader that Al the chemy holds all of the secrets to the study of alchemy.
Iron is magnetic. In our lab, when we ran a magnet through the mystery mix, the iron jumped out from the mix and clug to the magnet. We were able to sort out all of the iron using a magnet. Magnetism is a physical property. The chemical make up stays the same.
Filling up a car with petrol involves putting a mixture of petrol and ethanol into the fuel tank. The E-number of the fuel indicates the amount of ethanol that has been added. In the UK, most petrol is E5 or E10, 5% or 10% ethanol combined with 95% or 90% petrol. Examples include BP ultimate and Shell V power. In the USA, E15 fuel is commonly used and in Brazil, where sugar cane is grown for fuel, E95 is usual. [1]

Alchemy is considered the precursor to modern chemistry. When you think of chemistry, usually you think of an exact science; something very meticulous. Truthfully, it is. To be accurate and to obtain precise and desired results, it must be accurate. Alchemy, however, was not an exact science, it was a primitive approach to the elements and usually they looked to a deity to actually initiate chemical reactions. Thus we separated them, but for good reason. In today's time we us instruments to give us exactness and precision that mankind had formerly ignored. Throughout time you will see that mankind has used chemistry to solve its most complex of problems and build a world that 7 billion people have come to know as home.
