Alchemy is the process of trying to turn non-gold metals into gold. It was practiced hundreds of years ago by scientists who believed that with the right amounts of heat or chemical reactions, they could make gold. After years of experiments and observations, gold was never produced. Which best describes the practice of alchemy? Alchemy was scientific, because scientists practiced it. Alchemy was scientific, because it included observations and experiments. Alchemy was pseudoscientific, because beliefs came before any observations of success. Alchemy was pseudoscientific, because some successful experiments inspired others.

Answer:

Alchemy was scientific, because it included observations and experiments

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific research is one that is done through a series not steps or methods. Observation and experiments are part of the steps in a scientific research.

Scientific research is done through investigation of various theories of science as well as formulating hypothesis. Scientists do not just resort to picking random answers concerning the phenomenons around us. They carry out investigations, observations, and would also formulate potential explanations for what is on ground, carry out experiments and then analyze their results to know if they are right or wrong.

Since the question says observation and experiments were done it is scientific
