      I think the biggest misconception about school is what we learn is important it is. But what is the most important thing about all these subjects is how you learn, not what you learn. Through learning and going through the processes you learn how to think differently and abstractly rather than the old way of 2+2=4

    @JonAndKatyAnderson 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    at 10:30 to 11:45 -- If pressure is constant, then delta P is zero. if you have a dP*V, you can't "factor" it to P*dV. dP means "change in pressure", so if you posit that pressure is constant, then dP= P2 - P1 = 0, because P2 = P1. Then you have dP/P = 0 = dV/V, which means that volume is also constant. What am I missing here?

    • @JayaSaputra
      @JayaSaputra 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It's d(PV)= dP*V + P*dV
      Since dP =0, then d(PV) can be reduced to only P*dV

  • @SaucyNight

    I am a little confused here,
    deltaPV=PdeltaV
    say that Pressure is constant at 5 atm and volume is going to change from 6 to 7 liters.
    wouldnt delta Pressure equal zero if there is no change? then you would end up with zero on the left since deltaP=0 and you would end up with 5x1 on the right because deltaV=1 and P= 5
    ?

    • @guillaumethemapler
      @guillaumethemapler 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      This is because in your book they consider every change in energy from te systems point of view. It is de convention in chemistry. I personaly think its less confusing. A negative q means there is heat taken from the system. A negative w means the work is done by the system. So it loses energy. This energy is now on the surroundings. That is why a negative Delta H is a exotherm reaction. Heath is coming out of the system so the energy content of the system decreases.

    If /del/ H = Q, and /del/ PV = P/del/V, doesn't that make Q a valid state variable, and consequently imply all paths are constrained to a single curve? Because I feel like the solution space for constant P sounds to restrictive, since that's only a line instead of a curve.

  • @SciFiFactory
    @SciFiFactory 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am extremely confused at 10:10
    So when you write "delta P V" you actually mean "delta (P*V)" ?
    Because otherwise a constant P would result in "delta P=0" and then you would have "0*V = P*delta(V)" , which would not be true, right?
    Am I missing something ? Does the first delta apply to both P and V or just to P?

    @ishaaqahamed3888 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can someone help me through this dilemma?
    Work is defined as the (W = F * s) when a body moves a straight distance under a constant force.
    However, since for a curved path of varying force, we break down the curve to infinitesimal segments where the Force is locally constant and the distance (ds) is essentially straight. Thus,
    for this tiny line segment, we apply the Work concept and we have dW = Fds. Summing up all the dW would give us the total Work.
    This is why dW = Fds (and never dW = Fds + sdF).
    I have the following problems:
    Under what circumstances is Enthalpy explicitly defined for a system?
    How can we say that dH = du + PdV + VdP when we never say dW = Fds + sdF?

      I know it's pretty late and you might've left these roads a lot behind in your life.
      But, if you still wanna know (of course if don't already), it's actually d(PV) and not P.dV or V.dP as it is in the work done formula dW= F.ds
      d(PV) expands in accordance with the chain rule of differentiation which gives us PdV+VdP. Either of these terms can get zero in an isobaric or isochoric process.

    it can be both, the work done 'w' is negative if the environment does work on the system, and positive if the system does work on the environment.

    if heat is added to the system and system is doing equal work on surrounding then heat is converted to work and it's heat content will be constant after many cycles

    This video did absolutely nothing to tell us what enthalpy is. but only what enthalpy is during constant pressure

    My textbook shows deltaU = q + w. You're saying deltaU = q - w. Which is correct?

      Yes, that's right. It's just a terminological thing, so some books assume the opposite

    If the system does net work, where does the extra energy to do the net work come from? FOr example, if a work is done on the system from 2-1 and then the system does work from 1-2 with a different path. We have a net work done by the system, but the system should have energy equal to the work done on it. So how can the system do extra work that is more than work applied to it?

    So I understand the explanation that the change in enthalpy is equal to the head added in a constant pressure system. But mathematically, shouldn't that also be true in a constant volume system? It seems like the mathematical proof he does should apply just the same to volume in that equation as it does to pressure. Can someone explain to me what I'm missing here?

      But there isnt any work done by Or on the system in case of constant volume so the way he explained in constant pressure case that heat at initial point would always increase by 2 after completing the cycle would not be there in case of constant volume... I hope it makes sense but that's what is my perspective

    I know it's an old video, but aren't you missing a very important assumption? I mean, enthalpy is equals to heat at constant pressure IF the energy you give to the system is all heat, because if there's work involved that's also included in enthalpy (except of course the expansion work). As a more general rule I'd say that at constant pressure enthalpy = heat + work other than expansion.

    • @benjaminmcintosh857

      if work is involved then for the pressure to remain constant there must also be some heat transfer, so the constant pressure assumption is sufficient
