Hi Akshay, Thanks for the comment. I want to start by saying that I am not an expert on harpoon reactions which are a category of charge transfer reactions. Perhaps an expert will see your comment and offer more than I can. Your pointing out that the steric factor is greater than 1 is indicative of the fact the reactions proceed faster than expected from simple collision theory. It is plausable that some degree of quantum tunnelling through the reaction energy barrier is occuring. This would result in a reaction that occurs faster than expected and it is known to occur for some reactions. I'm not sure this is the case for harpoon reactions. One thing to keep in mind is that the Arrhenius is an emperical equation and so neither A nor Ea can be truely assigned to a specific physical event. Thus the generic cross-section of the "collision" might not correspond to the actual physical cross-section of any specific pair of particles.

Hi Baghali, Thanks for the suggestion. It may be a fair bit of time before I am able to do that. I'm not sure yet when I'll be able to get to it.

Thanks, Jaimee, for your helpful comment. I hope others viewing this will notice you comment.

Thanks for your comment. I’m planning to. I’d like to get a few more features of the PIC12F1822 made into videos so that I can have a more complete playlist. In the meantime they are all the latest videos listed for the channel.

Your welcome. Good luck with your studies and projects.

Yeah. These days and even when I was in graduate school the focus of the curriculum was statistical thermodynamics and quantum mechanics. It was only when I started teaching did I really appreciate thermodynamics for its power and elegance. Good luck with your studies!

Thanks for the tip! There’s lots to the MPLAB ide that I have yet to learn!

Thanks. Good luck with your studies!

Thanks for the question. I'm not going to be able to give you a satifactory answer. The range of difficulty varies considerably. The treatment of the topics in the series this video is in is at what would be considered the elementary or "freshman" level. Typically, in what would be considered normal undergraduate physical chemistry in the United States, the questions would rely on a knowledge of calculus. Finally, graduate school level physical chemistry can involve some pretty advanced mathematics. One can start to learn the basic physical concepts seen in physical chemistry early and then as one gains more experience in advanced mathematics, one can really probe deep questions about how nature works.

Thanks. Good luck with your studies!

Thanks. Good luck with your studies!

Thank you. And good luck with your studies!

I'm glad you found it useful. Good luck with your studies!

Great! Thanks for watching.

I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Yes! It’s fun to think about how to do things in assembly with a limited instruction set. You really feel close to the 1’s and 0’s in the registers.

Glad it was helpful!

Ha! Yes, good suggestion! I'm embarrassingly poor with oscilloscopes. :)

I'm glad you found this useful, Peter. I'm not completely sure I'm interpreting your question correctly but here are a couple of things. You certainly can streamline the program. In fact you don't need mainloop. For a simple program with no function calls (like delay) then you could just have main. You would need a goto main at the end to keep the program running. Generally, one never has the program terminate on the microcontrollers. So something like nop and goto main would be just about the simplest program. Of course, it wouldn't do anything.

Glad you liked it!

Your welcome. Good luck with your studies!

You’re welcome. Good luck with your projects.

You bet. Good luck with your studies.

Yes, I really enjoy these in addition to electronic circuits as well. I wanted to respond quickly to acknowledge your question. Currently, my students are getting ready for a conference so I'm a bit busy this weekend but I'll try to get you a more complete answer as soon as I can.

In seting things up, one needs to install the IDE as well as the compiler. The compiler is not installed automatically. I think that is because there are different compilers for the different families of PIC microcontrollers. We need the 8-bit compiler, which is called XC8. I suspect that you may need to install that or it did not install correctly. Here is a link to the XC8 8-bit complier: www.microchip.com/en-us/tools-resources/develop/mplab-xc-compilers/xc8 Fortunately or unfortunately depending on one's point of view, I have not experienced any issues with my MPLAB installs so I don't have any experience troubleshooting. I hope this corrects the problem and you can get off and running.

Thank you for taking time during your busy weekend to help with a suggestion. I will see if that corrects the issue for me. I have some PIC10F200 coming from Mouser the first part of the week, hopefully! I look forward to following and learning from your GNL TH-cam course.

@@GNLProject-yp8po That was the part that I had missed. Thank you again

I'm glad you found it helpful. Good luck in your studies.
