  • Have you ever been to a Demolition Derby? Then you have an idea of how molecular collisions happen. In this episode, Hank talks about collisions between molecules and atoms, activation energy, writing rate laws, equilibrium expressions, reactions mechanics, and rate-determining steps. And funnel cakes are AWESOME!

    Literally crying tears of joy. I have a HORRIBLE chemistry teacher, who does not teach us (he just goes through extremely complicated notes and uploads extensively long videos), but expects everyone to master the materials. Tomorrow is our test on Kinetics and Equilibrium and THANK GOD FOR CRASH COURSE (and Hank) BECAUSE IT HAS TAUGHT ME MORE IN

    These videos are a great review for my chemistry tests. I'm taking my second chemistry class (for science majors) as a summer course, so we are going through this information rapidly. I had to take it in the summer so that I would be able to take my MCAT at the end of my junior year. These videos have help me review, realize, discover, and remember very often. Thank you Hank and everyone else over there at Crash Couse!

    Before I started learning chemistry I did a reaction with my friends where we put Lye into a bottle then add aluminum to it screw the cap on and it explodes we thought it was cool... but know I enjoy it even more because I actually know what's going on the aluminium acts as a catalyst and when you drop it in it produces hydrogen gas and steam pretty cool thank you Hank :D

    So I have taken a few kinetics courses and some of the information in the this video conflicted with what I learned class. To clarify: for elementary (single step) reactions the stoichiometric coefficients ARE equal to the rate law powers, kinetic theory and collision theory can be used to calculate rate constants and they are very close to experimental values for elementary reactions, transition state theory relates the rate constant to thermodynamics (everything must obey the laws of thermo).

    I once watched this series for fun. I once again watched this series for fun. Probably a few more times to help understand certain things during my first university level chemistry class, did pass. Now I'm at the point of breaking down because the "orders" thing was explained by graphs and calculus. Hank Green saves the day, AGAIN.

    I have a small bone to pick. The chemical reaction rate can be predicted by theory. There are variety of approaches out there, but Stephen Klippenstein and DG Truhlar of Argonne Nat'l Lab has written a variety of papers on the topic with various coauthors. See: The Journal of physical chemistry 100 (31), 12771-12800; Chemical reviews 106 (11), 4518-4584

    This video is perfect it gave me a great conceptual understanding of kinetic energy. The only thing I'm still unclear about afterwards is how to determine the exponential value of the reactants concentrations in the rate laws after performing the reactions experimentally and determining the rates of the reactions.

    Hi Hank,
    I've been reading Six Easy Pieces by Feynman and he also states that atoms "bang into each other" but it is my understanding that it is an interaction of the forces between atoms which drives their movement and that nothing ever actually touches.
    I understand that the language of the quantum world is in some cases inherently equivocal, but I was hoping for clarification on this topic.
    Thank you,
    Andrew

    A catalyst actually provides an alternative pathway for the reaction with a lower activation energy, thus more molecules and particles have an energy greater than or equal to the activation energy, speeding up the reaction.

    At 8:09' in describing the role of a catalyst, the common expression "lowers the activation energy" is used. A better description is that a different mechanism is provided through the catalyst and the activation energy of that pathway is lower than that of the uncatalysed reaction.

    When both exponents are 0, the concentration terms both become 1. This simplifies the rate equation to simply k, a constant. So no matter how much of each reactant you start with, the rate will always be the same. An example is the reaction H2 + Cl2 --> 2HCl (hydrogen gas + chlorine gas => hydrogen chloride gas).

    @ianjamie7319 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great lesson overall. A small problem at 3:45' when describing the form of the rate equation. It is explicitly stated that only the reactants are included. When looking at overall reactions (macroscopic scale) there is no a priori reason to exclude products or catalysts in the rate law. It is common to have only reactants, and in teaching we tend to stick with this paradigm, but it is not the law.. A rate law that has a product with a positive reaction order will be "self-catalysing".
