Question

how to change Pb make to Sn

Answer 1

Lancenigo di Villorba (TV), Italy

I CONFIRM THE PREVIOUS ANSWER.
In Roman Empire's Age, it is believed (e.g. Pliny the Elder) that several types of lead (e.g. tin, antimony and bismuth) may exist as "dirty lead" ' s qualities.
Since the second half of XVIII century some chemist (A. Lavoisier) stated "Metals among the Chemical Elements" cannot interconvert one toward another one.
Nowadays, any Chemistry's lesson is based on immutability of all the Chemical Elements unless you involve NUCLEAR REACTIONS.
As you know, radioactive atoms (e.g. radionuclides) become in other ones while they disintegrate themselves.
Moreover, IN NATURE lead results as the end-line of the DECAY PHENOMENA, e.g. uranium or thorium's destiny join to lead.

I hope this helps you.

Answer 2

It isn't possible without doing a nuclear reaction. You would either a radioactive isotope of Pb that would have a decay pathway that leads to Sn. As far as I can tell there isn't any common ones that do.
