ChemWalk 002: Here, I share an intuitive description of free energy (i.e., Helmholtz free energy) that recently came to me.
ChemWalk is a new video series I'm starting where I candidly explain concepts in chemistry, math, and physics in on-the-go. The goal of this series is to focus on sharing intuition rather that getting too deep into the details, and just see the big picture. In the real world, having intuition for concepts can often be more valuable than remembering a formula or a procedure. By making these videos mostly unscripted, I force myself to draw out my intuition!
Enjoy!

    Every exponential function F has pair of functions of which one of them has smaller factor (base) and it represents instantaneous growth rate of the function F, and the other one has bigger base (factor) which represents continuous growth factor of function F. Thus function's instantaneous growth rate is it's instantaneous counterpart's discrete growth rate i.e: 1.051278^x have instantaneous growth rate of 5 %, the discrete rate of (1.05^x) And any 2 exponential functions' instantaneous growth rates are proportional to the exponential ratio of their factors: f(x) = a^x g(x) = b^x b = a^r r = log(b)/log(a) = ln(b) if instantaneous growth rate of f(x) is p: then for g(x) it's equal to r*p. Explanation with derivatives: b = a^r then g(x) = b^x = a^rx = (a^x)^r = (f(x))^r (f(x) to the pow r). And instantaneous growth rate is actually a constant that occures in the derivative of exponential function which is for f(x) is simply f'(x) = k1*f(x), for g'(x) acrrording to chain rule is: g'(x) = g(x) * k2 ((f(x))^r)' => r*f(x)^(r-1)*f'(x) = r*f(x)^r/f(x)*f(x)*k1 => r*g(x)*k1 = g(x) * k2 => r*k1 = k2 If U want to why growth rate is actually derivative for exponential functions watch 3Blue1Brown's video (3:57): th-cam.com/video/m2MIpDrF7Es/w-d-xo.html I could'n yet figured out proportionality relationship between discrete and continuous growth rates of functions. This trio of functions ..... I(x) <=> D(x) <=> C(x) ...... chained in both direction infinitely. Every single one of them is instantaneous equivalent of the one on it's right and continuous equivalent of the one on it's left. In other words, every single function has instantaneous equivalent on it's left and continuous equivalent on it's right.

    the way i semi-formally proved the theorem was sort of like this: (click read more if you want to see it, don't click if you want to figure out yourself) (i'll use ellipses to indicate that a function or vector could continue to have any amount of variables/components) first off, dr = r'(t)dt = <x'(t)dt, y'(t)dt, … > = <dx, dy, … > ∇f = <∂f/∂x, ∂f/∂y, ... > ∇f•dr = ∇f•r'(t)dt= (∂f/∂x)dx + (∂f/∂y)dy + … a function's complete differential is equal to the sum of its partial derivatives, each multiplied by their corresponding differentials (e.g. (∂f/∂x)dx or anything similar) and the value of this dot product comes out to be in just the right form of this total differential so ∇f•dr = df now, before we move on, recall that we want to take the values of f at certain points plugging in t_0 or t_f alone won't do the job since we're talking multivariable here, but if we can find f in terms of t, that'll work so let's find f(r(t)) this will change f(x, y, … ) into f(x(t), y(t), … ) so now we can evaluate f at the t values now let's get back to the integral: we already know that by the FTC (or by the Generalized Stokes' Theorem) that the integral over an interval of the derivative of a function is equal to the original function at the bounds ∫_C ∇f•dr = ∫_{t_0} ^{t_f} df = f(r(t)) | _{t_0} ^{t_f} = f(r(t_f)) - f(r(t_0)) (the _{} ^{} indicates the bounds) and there we have it ∫_C ∇f•dr = f(r(t_f)) - f(r(t_0))

    It is also unfortunate that you took the bacterium reproducing as an example for "self-referential growth". Because, other than "compound interest rates" (8:38...9:41) bacteria are counted with whole numbers: 1->2->4->8->16..., while interest rates are represented, as real numbers. There are serious mathematical implications: we can not integrate, differentiate find the maximum/minimum, and importantly find the limes as n-->oo for the discrete numbers of bacteria, like it is nonsense, when 2 bacteria would reproduce pi-number of bacteria, or infinite number of bacteria in between!! The foolish chemists usually make the same mistake, when they counted their atoms/molecules with whole numbers and go ahead to apply the maths for real numbers!

    Your equation at (13:25..13:32): (lambda^(x) = 1.05, finding x) does not make sense at all. Lambda is per definition a limit value of an infinity series lambda = lim (1 + r/n)^n = 1.05 ..............n->oo So, for n=100,000 ; 10,000 ; 1,000 ; 100 we got: r= 0.048790176 ; 0.048790283 ; 0.04879135 ; 0.0488020

I am assuming that even a very big percentage of college math teachers also won't have the intuition within this video. In ALL classes they teach e as a random universal number that we found from continuous interest and eventually found in other places, and NOT what it really was all along.

    I've got a one-sentence description for "e". It goes as: "The number e helps quantify the decay rate for simple dissipative processes in nature". There are countless examples for these so-called "simple dissipative processes", which behave in an asymptotic fashion. - The time-rate temperature decrease of a given volume of hot liquid (a cup of coffee). - The time-rate level decrease of water in a bathtub after the plug is removed from the drain. - The time-rate amplitude decrease in a mechanical oscillation system (mass-spring, pendulum, a swing, vibrating string under tension, etc.).

    There's a slight problem with your opening screen. Four constants are shown, all but the third of which are pure numbers. Planck's constant, h, is not a number; it's an angular momentum. So unlike i, π, and e, its numeric value depends on the choice of physical units, which from the point of view of physics, is arbitrary. The value given here is in the "mks" system, and so, needs to be 'finished' with "kg•m²/s." Also, at the 20-min mark, eˣ isn't for x%, but for 100x% growth rate. Fred
