Does this actually work?

>> No.4437757

yes, troll physics work

>> No.4437761

yes, but those plastic tweezers will cost you a million times more than the money you will make.

>> No.4437766

Sure does. Make sure you get enough mercury to kill off all your sperm cells though. Society doesn't need you to have kids.

>> No.4437774

Also, it only works if the Mercury is true Mercury that came straight from the planet Mercury.

But don't fret, if you need to get to Mercury for some Mercury just find a friend and use the tip in pic to get there.

this is a troll

If you try to do this it will create chlorine gas and you will die.

No it won't, stop trolling. It's perfectly safe.

Platinum is more valuable than gold. You must be trolling.

Don't do this, it turns into Silver

Those are the ones for making crystals using ammonia and bleach.

have you ever even looked at a periodic table? This would work, but it would cost a shitload more to do than it would be worth.

>> No.4437842

I think if you want crystals you have to use rubbing alcohol with the bleach. Or am I thinking of something else?

give it a shot, use a short straw, and report back to use or have your next of kin report back to us

Since nobody has answered seriously:

Yes, this can be done, but not with plastic tweezers. 'Alchemy' is not impossible, but transmuting elements in any amount close to being remotely useful is going to be thousands of times more expensive than the price of gold per weight.

if you remove that many protons it won't weight 1kg any more

The only stable gold isotop is Au197. So you would need Hg198 but it is only a small part of the mercury you can buy.
