  • Gases are everywhere, and this is good news and bad news for chemists. The good news: when they are behaving themselves, it's extremely easy to describe their behavior theoretically, experimentally, and mathematically. The bad news is they almost never behave themselves.
    In this episode of Crash Course Chemistry, Hank tells how the work of some amazing thinkers combined to produce the Ideal Gas Law, how none of those people were Robert Boyle, and how the ideal gas equation allows you to find out pressure, volume, temperature, or number of moles. You'll also get a quick introduction to a few jargon-y phrases to help you sound like you know what you're talking about.

    We were watching this in class and the teacher pause it right after the "They almost never behave themselves," and she just looks at us and goes, "Can't imagine what that's like."

    At 5:37 - decreasing the number of miles decreases the volume, but in the case of a balloon the pressure actually goes up because pressure is related to curvature (this is why it's hardest to blow up a balloon when you're starting it and then it gets easier).

      In a series of experiments with his friend, Richard Towneley, Power discovered the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas that later became known as Boyle's law. This relationship was outlined in "Experimental Philosophy." However, many may argue nevertheless that Boyle, after discussing the theory with Towneley and reading a pre-publication manuscript of "Experimental Philosophy" cited the hypothesis as the sole work of Richard Towneley. Boyle's mention of the theory preceded the publication of "Experimental Philosophy" by one year, which, combined with Boyle's promotion of the idea and his significant status as an aristocratic scientist, ensured the theory would be known as "Boyle's Law."

    I love that can experiment, that's just amazing. Especially since, from what I understood, since the atom in the can slowed down so much the air outside the can just busted through. The very air you're feeling broke though metal because inside the metal was too calm.

    I love Crash Course! Just wondering... think maybe you could make them less crashy coursey? You know, pause for breath between words now and again. I would love to see these episode lengths go up to the 22-23 minute mark so that we can allow students to have more internal processing while the video is still playing in class. ( for example, show more experiments, maps, illustrations, practical demonstrations, real world applications). It doesn't have to be Thoughtbubble (I know your contract and collaborations with them are limited and specific), but just maybe some other way of illustrating and expounding on whatever the lesson of the day is.
    Just a thought. Wonderful work you and your brother do! Huge fan, keep it up!

      That would be so much work and this is free education. I think this fast method is kinda cool, quick information with colors and little animations that compare things like the cation animation to help you remember if you're particularly interested you simply do your own research.

    At my first job, I used a bead blaster to blast some aluminium. This involves a vacuum chamber with thick rubber gloves sticking into it. When I first started using it, I was very surprised at how easy it was to move my arms despite the thick rubber gloves.
    Before then, I 'knew' that air was there, and that it had mass, but experiencing lack of air really changed my perception of the stuff that always surrounds us!

      3rd law of thermodynamics - you cannot reach absolute zero in a finite number of operations

      Oh! So that's the third law, I knew of the first three but not the fourth XD Thanks.

    There are 3 different "R's". It depends on the pressure units. You use .0821 when you're using "atmospheres", 8.31 for kPa, and 63.1 for mm Hg.

    How can they put Chinese subtitles but not Spanish??

      +Fluminis Auro There are over a billion people who speak some form of Chinese as their first language, and about 400 million people who speak Spanish as a native language. Maybe that's why?

      +Ningxin i know all these numbers.. but they still should make Spanish subtitles, they dont need to do one thing OR another.. anyway, i aint no bitching, im not even a spanish native speaker

      +Fluminis Auro I agree, they should have more languages for subtitles. :)

      I'm not sure that would work so great :/ alot of words in languages don't translate so smoothly into other languages...

    something I never quite understood: If we imagine a closed container filled with 1 mol of a molecular gas and these molecules then split into 2 smaller molecules each, thus raising the number of gas particles from 1 to 2 moles - the ideal gas equation would suggest that the pressure of the whole system would increase. However: if we look at a single molecule it seems that the temperature must drop. One heavy molecule at speed x produces two lighter molecules which - due to conservation of momentum - should still have the same speed. but since their mass drops the average kinetic energy per particle (and thus temperature) should drop considerably. Also: while it is true that we do have more collisions at the same time due to the increased number of particles, the particles also got lighter by that amount. Is the solution simply that (excluding energy given to or taken out of the system due to the endothermic/exothermic nature of the reaction itself) temperature will drop and pressure stays constant?
