What does an alchemist do?

Alchemist: An alchemist is a person who practices alchemy.\n\nAlchemy: Alchemy is an early protoscientific and philosophical discipline combining elements of chemistry, metallurgy, physics, medicine, astrology, semiotics, mysticism, spiritualism, and art. Alchemy has been practiced in ancient Egypt, India, and China, in Classical Greece and Rome, in the Islamic empire, and then in Europe up to the 19th century — in a complex network of schools and philosophical systems spanning at least 2500 years.

Carmot\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n\nThe "element" Carmot was a sort of element no longer believed to exist according to modern scientific knowledge. In history, carmot was the element most alchemists believed to be the key component in the creation of the much sought-after Philosopher's Stone. It was also thought to have had a dark red tone.\n\nFor any other answers, I suggest you check here:\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Carmot

No Clue. But Alopathy only treats the symptom, so who cares!!!

The Elrics could make anything they want through Alchemy, but this means nothing, because they don't have the speed that Neo and Trinity have.  \n\nI give the fight to Neo and Trinity.

it dissolves alot of stains. and it has a certain alkali quality to it that it helps cleaning chemically without hurting the test tube.

I have a question for you: WHAT THE HECK DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH CHEMISTRY?

Well, I have to say I like the FullMetal Alchemist show better than Naruto, Naruto's just full of fillers and the story don't go so clear but FullMetal Alchemist has few fillers and boy that anime has all the qualities of the anime I want!\n\nEdward Elric is a great alchemist but I don't think he could face the Nine-tailed Demon Fox, legend in japan says that every century a demon fox gains one tail the maximum is 9 and when he has 9 tails they say it becomes immortal, now I guess Naruto would be nothing without it and Ed could win, but if Ed has the Philosoper's stone I guess he and Naruto would make a draw ...\n\nRoy Mustang would win!! (Hehehe, just joking!)

I am in pharmacy school. If you want to have notes on what chemicals are involved in making medicines in the traditional sense, you can find texts on chinese medicine in a library (there is some thinking involved as the chinese names for herbs and plants are different than the latin ones, and also the chinese use a different system of medicine than the west). If you want to know about chemical synthesis, look into the field of organic chemistry, which is difficult to understand or explain, hence the need for an advanced degree to do much lab work. But those are two places where you can look for your answers. Its rather difficult to obtain potassium permagnate and such because many of these chemicals can also be used for rapid oxidation reactions (ie, explosions). It is easy enough though, to order some essential oils and misscelanious herbs after reading a bit on chinese medicine and using that to treat maladies.

Last I checked, alchemy was more of a psudo-science than an actual science that one could practice.  The changing of one form of energy to another (the entire basis of the theory of alchemy) is hardly difficult or unusual, however.  It's just a matter of an incredibly advanced knowledge of quantum mechanics.  Energy is constantly changing from one state of matter to another as atoms are gain/losing electrons, protons and neutrons into entirely different atoms.  As it is, the atoms in your a$$ are changing into atoms of your pants and vice-a-versa, the atoms in your pants are changing into the atoms in your chair and vice-a-versa, the atoms in your chair are changing into the atoms of the floor and vice-a-versa, and so on and so on.  In order for alchemy to work, you would need to know how to manipulate the atoms of one element to resemble the atoms of your desired element.  Unfortunately, you can't just pick up atom kits from the store to build your own custom elements. :S

cinnamic acid is reduced to the aldehyde and can be further reduced to the alcohol.\nsodium borohydride is caustic b/c the hydride ion(H-1) reacts with water to produce hydrogen gas and the hydroxide ion.  it acts as a strong base.

most of it originally by observation and experiments.\nthese days they understand chemical reactions better, and may use them more

Actually, you can turn one element into another by nuclear transmutation. Radioactive elements spontaneously decay over a long period of time and transform into other more stable elements.\n\nSo, doesn't that make Nuclear Physicists Alchemists?\n\nNatural transmutation was applied consciously to modern physics first by Frederick Soddy when he, along with Ernest Rutherford, discovered that radioactive thorium was converting itself into radium in 1901. At the moment of realization, Soddy later recalled, he shouted out: "Rutherford, this is transmutation!" Rutherford snapped back, "For Christ's sake, Soddy, don't call it transmutation. They'll have our heads off as alchemists."\n\nSo, you should study to be a Nuclear Physisicist.

Chemistry is Chemistry (derived from alchemy) is the science of matter and study of inner molecules and atoms. You study metal properties, its characteristics and behaviour. You study about Organic and InOrganic Materials. You will also learn about mixing chemicals - Reactants and Products. Don't worry now, it will soon become interesting.\n\nThe atomic mass of a chemical element is the mass of an atom at rest and Atomic number (Z) is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom.
