Water & Solutions - for Dirty Laundry: Crash Course Chemistry #7

  • Dihydrogen monoxide (better known as water) is the key to nearly everything. It falls from the sky, makes up 60% of our bodies, and just about every chemical process related to life takes place with it or in it. Without it, none of the chemical reactions that keep us alive would happen - none of the reactions that sustain any life form on earth would happen - and the majority of inorganic chemical reactions that shape the surface of the earth would not happen either. Every one of us uses water for all kinds of chemistry every day - our body chemistry, our food chemistry, and our laundry chemistry all take place in water.
    In today's Crash Course Chemistry, we use Hank's actual dirty laundry (ew) to learn about some of the properties of water that make it so special - its polarity and dielectric property; how electrolytes can be used to classify solutions; and we discover how to calculate a solution's molarity as well as how to dilute a solution using the dilution equation.

    Our chemistry teacher taught us a great way to remember the difference between Solutes, Solvents and Solutions.
    'Solute is what you put;
    Solvent is where it went;
    and Solution is what you're producing'
    Hope that helped anybody! :)

    At 9:50, molality=moles of solute/Kg of solution. Instead, it should be: molality=moles of solute/Kg of solvent. The mass of the solution and the mass of the solvent are two very different values.

    Ditto to caleb fisher's comment. Molality is moles of solute divided by kilograms of SOLVENT. Actually, for most solutions where we care about colligative properties (one of the main reasons for using molality) the results of the math come out almost the same but we chemistry teachers are soooooo picky aren't weeeee!
    I do, never-the-less, love your chemistry videos. I use them in my classes quite a lot. Keep up the good work!

  • @Zyamaman
    @Zyamaman 4 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    10:23 yeah, dude, measuring solutions in percentage might not make sense to chemists, but it's the way to go in medicine. We dispense drugs in doses, meaning we just need to know the mass of the drug we're giving - the solution it's in is often secondary. If we'd have to figure out dosage from a liquid's molarity' rather than percentage, a lot more people would die in hospitals...

      Nate G he was criticized for that shirt because it was highly inappropriate and in pretty much any workplace he'd be major trouble with his boss, or even fired. when discussing something highly important in your work environment, you'd probably want to dress very nicely and not wear a shirt with half naked women on it that distracts your audience from the hard work you have done.

      Molly Name Wow and to go so far as to completely destroy one of the greatest achievements in this guy's life so far just because he has a casual shirt on? Besides being fired for wearing an "inappropriate" shirt on the wrong day when he had just landed a fucking probe on an asteroid would be really stupid to begin with. Also that wasn't just criticism that was a public shaming that completely over clocked this amazing achievement and made it seem like it doesn't matter because *gasp* he's wearing a shirt he likes but somehow offends someone else.

    Pure water does conduct electricity due to the ionization/de-ionization cycle Hank :-)
    i.e. there are always a certain amount OH (Hydroxide) and OH3 (Hydronium) ions present, approx. (concentration) 1 x 10-7 M each respectively present in pH neutral water - hence pH7. Pure H2O (theoretical) would not conduct elec. I suppose, as it has no free electrons - but good luck finding that! As you say water is such a great solvent. Thanks for the great classes, awesome!
    (Personally I see water more as a fundamental force of nature anyway) ;-)

    Hi there! Huge fan of Crash Course, and interested in learning Chemistry.
    I eat CC Psychology episodes like candy. Digest CC Mythology for fun. CC Philosophy is one of my guilty pleasures. You guys do a GREAT job. Buuut...
    I'm finding it hard to understand CC Chemistry. It moves too quickly, and doesn't include enough labeling in the visual examples to follow what everything is, when showing processes or patterns. A whole episode on ions wouldn't be a bad idea, for an idea of how pacing could be easier to follow.
    Again, huge fan! I would love to see a CC Chemistry 2.0
    Thank you for all you do

    Just out of curiosity, is any1 here just because they genuinely enjoy learning about chemistry in their free time and aren't studying for school?
    Like, their other subjects I can understand. Physics is weirdly wonderful in that it has lots of counter-intuitive things like general relativity and quantum mechanics. Philosophy (or, to b more specific, God) is always an interesting topic of conversation. So is politics (which's also important, if u want some idea of how 2 vote) and economics is a somewhat controversial (yet all the more interesting because of it) subject to be educated about (especially since it sort of links back to politics), which's y I keep up 2 date on those videos of theirs (still waiting for that modern physics tho!)
    However... I have never met any1 hu is just interested in chemistry and wud go out of zer way 2 learn it. At least, not as much as those other subjects I just mentioned.

      its an intimidating subject, and unlike politics, philosophy, and economics, it's one that you can't really get deep into without experimenting and gaining first hand experience in a classroom or lab. You can talk with your friends all day about the meaning of life, but you can't really study chemical reactions just for fun, because for one, the equipment isn't readily available, and two, it takes a lot of studying just to be able to conceptualize what is really happening. Its an invisible science mostly, and people don't find what they can't easily understand or even experience to be very engaging . I think if more people really dedicated just a little bit of energy to see what chemistry can show us beyond just equation balancing and a periodic table, they would see how amazing the science really is. But you kinda have to go to school to get that basic and necessary understanding

    I've been taught to work in litres in school and university. Obviously if that's what's required for A-Level use dm^3, but if you were to go further with Chemistry you would find litres are used. The SI unit of volume is m^3 but SI units aren't always standard in different areas of science. For example Chemistry also uses grams instead of the SI kg for mass. It most often depends on what is most convenient for that particular field of research.

      your calculator is not broken, you just switched the numbers when dividing (38/0.88 instead of 0.88/38) which works out to 43.18 and then multiplied by 0.01 to get your figure of 0.432L. The equation will work out if you divide the moles into the liters.

    If a molecule's(like salt's) solubility in water leads to dissociation between the molecule's cations and anions, then how is it still the same substance as before? Wouldn't that make it into a different thing all together? I mean, salt still tastes like salt when you dissolve it in water.

    It's mostly a solution, but there might be some suspended stuff. The sugar is dissolved, as is the caffeine, and the tannins, and whatever other vitamins which might be present. On the other hand, if you add milk to your tea, then the fat in the milk occurs in the form of the suspension (since it doesn't dissolve, for reasons stated in the videos).

No matter what is happening in the beaker, the circuit isn't completed in two ways so the light can't turn on . 1) Connect to both ends of the battery. 2) Connect to both the base and metal side of the light bulb.

    The higher temperature of a liquid is correspondent to it's the kinetic energy of the molecules, meaning their movement. The particles of the solvent (e.g. water) collide with the solute particles, transferring some of the KE to them. All in all, it's the motion that causes the dissolution of mass.

    Hank is simplifying. This is a redox process. In order for the reaction of H2O2 -> H2O + O- to occur, it needs to gain an electron from something. so the actual equation should read e- + H2O2 -> H2O + O-, but this is only a half reaction because reduction never occurs without oxidation.

    It''s not about the chemistry, it's about the safety. Combining strong acids with water (whichever way you do it) can generate heat. In some cases, it can generate enough heat to boil and splash. If it does this, it's better to be splashed with a bit of added acid in mostly water, rather than a bit of water in mostly acid.
    From personal experience, concentrated Sulfuric Acid gets very hot when mixed with water. Also, it'll also burn paper, which is interesting to watch.

  • @ferretsangle

    O2 is already a polyatomic ion known as Peroxide. It has a charge of -2. To balance out this charge it bonds with 2 hydrogen atoms. H202 is named Hydrogen Peroxide because of the way you're supposed to name ionic compounds (no prefixes). Hydrogen + Peroxide becomes Hydrogen Peroxide. Water on the other hand is a covalent bond that is not created through charge. It is named with prefixes.

Also the grams per volume thing is alright because its water and 1 L = 1 kg, so its 30g of H2O2/ 1kg of H2O, but when it starts messing with solvents that aint water it gets annoying working backwards from volume to mass or mass to volume to figure out molar ratios.

      +NICHOLAS CHAMBERS V1 is the amount of solution that Hank will be adding to his laundry and is the variable that we are trying to solve for . If he poured in the whole bottle, it would be 1 liter. However this would be too much H2O2 for his purposes. He gave us 0.01mol/liter as the ideal dilution of H2O2 to whiten socks and we know he will have 38 liters of water in his tub. So now we just need to find how much hydrogen peroxide to add to that 38L in order to get down to the proper dilution of 0.01mol/liter...which is apparently 0.43 liter. Hope that helps!

    A stabled atom has the amount of electrons equal to the amount of protons. When an atom has an excess amount of electrons (we call this atom an ion then), the ion is an anion (negative charge). When there are less electron than it's supposed to carry, we got a cation (positive charge). Electrolytes is the substance containing ions when is dissociated by the addition of a solvent or heating. Example: NaCl is an electrolyte bc when you add water it turns in Na+ (positive charge) and Cl- (negative)
