C₆H₁₀O₅ → 6C + 5H₂O

THESIS Charcoal is alchemy's black made from trees. LITHeating wood without air (pyrolysis) drives off water and volatiles and leaves carbon. Alchemists' furnaces burned charcoal, and the blackening stage is the nigredo (nigredo/rubedo, calcination). COMPUTEDThe ideal dehydration C₆H₁₀O₅ → 6C + 5H₂O caps the mass yield at 44.4%. Real kilns give about 25–35% (from memory) because carbon also leaves as gases. Heat the toy kiln. Partner: the Tree of Diana.

MNEMONIC "Forty-four in a perfect fire, a third in a real one."
