0.995 kg of gold and 5g of protium
Actually less than that because only around 10% of the gold created this way (assuming a natural distribution of Hg isotopes) would be stable, so you’d get a bunch of β particles too. I don’t even know how Au-201 would act, and it would comprise 30% of the output.
21 minute half life beta decay back to mercury.
half life beta
Half Life 3 confirmed alright
what if you remove another proton from that mercury isotope
It decays in like 40 minutes or something back into mercury. If you do it again you get a whole 2 days before, you guessed it, straight to mercury. We have the best elements in the world thanks to mercury.
A rage comic? What year is this?
Not only that, but also extreme troll physics vibes. Just lacking magnets and tge question how they work.
He converted lead into gold and Euros into dollars.
I love that the face is actually mirrored. 10/10
This doesn’t work because it will also make hydrogen gas that will take up the air in the area you are in causing you to suffocate. I lost a very close friend to this please don’t spread misinformation online.
Fake. The resulting Au201 and Au199 will promptly turn back into mercury. But, if you instead pull of a few neutrons to make Hg197, it will decay in a few days to stable Au197, along with a free neutrino.
Hold up how much do all the protons you removed weigh? You get less than 1kg of gold at the end
