    There used to be a DJ called DJ Titrate. He always loved to drop the base (into acids).

    Funny chemistry story (actually, not really, lab safety ain't no joke kids...):
    I once had my shirt disintegrated off me. A classmate walked right behind me and I didn't know he was there and I bumped into him. I don't remember the concentration, but unfortunately for me he was carrying a tray with phosphoric acid. It wasn't life threatening but about an hour later while riding the bus home, I was feeling a little itchy on my shoulder where the acid spilled on me. I reached back to scratch it and my shirt just started...well...disintegrating at the touch. I lost the whole upper right side of my shirt.
    Confused the hell out of the bus driver, who noticed my current state of attire as I was exiting the bus, before she could ask I said, "Don't worry, I just had acid spilled on me in chemistry." I then proceeded to take long and thorough shower as soon as I got home.

      A 'friend of a friend' being funny in class when lab safety was being covered - you know: "don't inhale directly, just waft it towards you", was being a typical asshat and while repeating something to the effect of "ahh, the wafting sensation" was a little too vigorous, and waved too hard, or inhaled too deeply, but definitely knocked himself out. He made a full recovery, and the rest of my High School life was filled with a "enjoy the wafting sensation" joke whenever someone passed gas in that group of friends. As teenage boys, you can image, it was often. Incidentally, we did *not* in fact enjoy it, at all.

    Just to make sure I have this right as some of the calculations set out below seem incorrect:
    For 1 metric ton of coal containing 3% Sulphur the following applies:
    30 Kg of Sulphur requires as calculated in the video: 30000 g of S / 32.065 = 935.59956 moles then as 1 mole of S reacts with 1 moles of CaCo3 = 935.59956 * 100.09 = 93644.159 g which is = 93.64 Kg of CaCo3 to fully neutralize it producing 112.431 Kg of CaSo3. Therefore you need ~ 3.12 Kg of CaCo3 to neutralize 1 Kg of Sulphur.
    Knowing this, the approximate answers would be as follows for 1x10^9 metric tons of coal:
    The amount of Sulphur produced from 1 metric ton of coal = 30 Kg * 1 billion = 3.0x10^10 Kg of S produced.
    The amount of CaCo3 needed for 1 metric ton of coal = 93.64 * 1 billion = 9.364x10^10 Kg of CaCo3 needed (which is 3.121 times the amount of Sulphur produced).
    Finally the amount of CaSo3 produced from 30 Kg of Sulphur reacting with 93.64 Kg of CaCo3 = 112.431 * 1 billion = 1.12431x10^11 Kg of CaSo3 produced.
    RFM for Sulphur = 32.065 g
    RFM for CaCo3 = 100.09 g
    RFM for CaSo3 = 120.17 g
    Good luck to all!

    I love the way that Chemistry is handled in these videos. It makes Chemistry seem like a fun, easy to understand science, as opposed to an impossibly difficult science that a lot of media portrays it to be. That, and these videos are extremely helpful for brushing up on material learned in the classroom.

  • @CB-sk1pq
    @CB-sk1pq 9 ปีที่แล้ว +81

    The answer to the question in the video:
    Since a ton (1000kg) of coal produces 30kg of sulfur, a billion tons (1,000,000,000kg) would produce 30,000,000kg (30,000,000,000g) of sulfur.
    The molar mass for limestone (CaCO3) is 32.1 g/mol.
    30,000,000,000 g ÷ 32.1 g/mol = 934,579,439.3 moles of sulfur.
    Since one mole of sulfur equals one mole of CaCO3 used, 934,579,439.3 moles of limestone is needed.
    The molar mass of CaCO3 is 100.1 g/mol.
    934,579,439.3 mol × 100.1 g/mol = 9.36 × 10^10 g = 93,4441,401.87 kg of CaCO3
    93.4 million kilograms (94 thousand tons) of limestone would be used.
    (sorry I didn't count the significant digits in my calculations. Pls correct me if I had a mistake. Also, after reading this, you may as well guess my age.)

      Intelligence is a poor thing to judge age based on, but based on the fact that you're asking I would hazard a guess at around 15.

    • @durugyakos1
      @durugyakos1 9 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Be careful with the powers of 10 when converting tons to kilogramms. A billion tons = 1,000,000,000 tons = 1,000,000,000,000 kg = 1,000,000,000,000,000 g (1000^5 or 10^15 grams), so 30,000,000 kg of sulfur that you calculated would be the amount produced by a million tons of coal. For a billion tons of coal approximately 93.6 billion kilograms (96 million tons) of limestone would be needed

    You are incorrect at 10:42. You stated that when a base donates a proton it forms a conjugate acid. Bases do not donate protons, but rather accept them. You should have stated that when a base accepts a proton, it forms a conjugate acid. Please fix this and thanks for the great video!

I have a different schedule that conflicts with school (leading up to my finals, I go at a different pace), and even though semester exams are internal, if I get an F tomorrow (or anything below a B, actually) my Chemistry teacher is going to seethe. So basically.. I'm doomed.

  • @katherinemorgan6733
    @katherinemorgan6733 10 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Hank, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the equation provided at 6:59 is mistaken. Shouldn't it be O2+ 2 SO2+ 2 H2O --> 2 H2SO4? The way it is now, there is an unequal amount of oxygen and sulfur on both sides of the equation.
    Also, in regards to the proposed question of how much calcium carbonate it would take to neutralize 30 kg of sulfur....
    30 kg Sx(1000g/kg)x(1 mol S/32 g of S)x(1 mol SO2/1 mol of S)x(2 mol H2SO4/2 mol SO2)x(1 mol CaCO3/1 mol H2SO4)x(about 100 g CaCO3/1 mol CaCO3)x(1 kg/1000 g)= about 93.75 Kg CaCO3.
    Also, thanks for the great video!

    It's called "Crash Course" for a reason. It doesn't go into the deeper details, but instead gives the general oversight and helps people grasp the baser ideas of a given subject and then move onto the more advanced material at their own rate. Crash Course doesn't go into the same detail as a Textbook will, but is easier to understand. In order to move to more advanced material, one requires the base knowledge that could be provided by this video.

    I got 320679320.679. Here's my process:
    1) Find 3% of 1 billion, which is 30,000,000.
    2) Find the amount of grams in 30,000,000 kilograms, which is 30,000,000,000.
    3) Find the amount of sulfuric moles in 30,000,000,000 grams , which is 963,000,000,000.
    4) Find how much Calcium Carbonate this translates to, as Calcium carbonate has a molar mass of 100.1, ANS = 9620379620.38 grams.
    5) Reduce this number back to kilograms, which ends up being a tidy 9620379.62038 kilograms, or about 9620 metric tons.

    • @tricketts5355
      @tricketts5355 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Your method is correct but you made a mistake on step 1.
      Find 3% of 1 billion TONNES, not 1 billion. 1 billion tonnes = 10^15g
      3% of 10^15g = 3x10^13g
      Number of S moles in 3x10^13g = 9.36x10^11 moles (might have different answer in this step depending one what value you have for sulfur's relative atomic mass).
      CaCO3 molar mass = 100.1g
      (100.1) x (9.36x10^11) = 9.37x10^10kg
      Convert kg to tonnes (divide by 1000)
      ~ 9.37x10^7 tonnes of limestone.
      But yeah otherwise well done. Just remember to check your SI units. :)

    • @iangolding8936
      @iangolding8936 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Tom Ricketts Actually, your method of rounding may be flawed. As sulphur has an atomic mass of 32,065 or a molar mass of 32,065 moles, you get the value of there being 9,35453696*10^11 moles. As 4 is a smaller number than 4, the correct manner of approximation would be to round downwards to n(S)=9,35*10^11 mol.
