  • How do chemical reactions actually take place and what is chemical kinetics? With animations, we look at the chemistry and science of how reactions work, including: the exact moment two molecules meet, the kinetic theory of gases, why kinetics is all about probabilities, what the differences are between gas- and solution-phase reactions, and why solid phase reactions are so different (hint: it’s all about surface to volume ratio).

      Only partly. Chemists' discovery of mass or even energy conservation could also be described as truly an 'application of ...... accounting' ! Chem is an unimaginably complex field , and is usually broken down into narrow specialties. So we collaborate and borrow from each other when we need better answers .

    One conceptual mistake I run into frequently is the idea that materials at a particular temperature have all their particles at the same kinetic energy, and thus chemical reactions (including side reactions) turn on or off as you raise or lower the temperature. In reality, at a particular temperature, the kinetic energy of the particles is distributed along a curve with most of them in middle range and smaller and smaller amounts as the energy gets higher or lower. So at any temperature, there will (theoretically) always be *some* with enough energy to reach the threshold needed for a reaction to occur, and controlling the temperature just raises or lowers the fraction of particles that do so.

    • @MadScientist267
      @MadScientist267 Před 5 měsíci +20

      Correct. The "temperature" is the *average* kinetic energy. Some will have almost none, some will be flying. Most will be about down the middle between the two, and that's the reading we get.

      @@crackedemerald4930 yes, also why liquids “mist” from falling or splashing. as long as at least one particle has enough energy to overcome internal tension (like surface tension for water, specifically), it is free to escape and fly off. it happens all the time, and there is actually a calculable integer to figure out when it usually tapers off, known as “vapor pressure”. it’s why you don’t see much evaporation in a room temperature water bottle as opposed to a puddle. i mean, there are other nuances that depict the specific scenarios, but generally, if theres less room for the water to evaporate into the air, less water evaporates. pretty cool!

    Sometimes it is better to be presented with a (well-known chemical) reaction and then ask the question: How could that be?
    The example of exo-isomer to endo-isomer is on the border of what I can accept (fathom) when watching, because I don't know what isomers are, and something in the wording (molecules of a species reacting with itself) sounds wrong when there are two shapes of that same molecule - you need to assume that the molecule is defined by the species of atoms which have been combined. And then this video is about precisely the fact that molecules of same elements can have different shapes.I think one reason why some of us balks from chemistry lessons is the many assumptions, the many presuppositions, which we don't like, we don't accept them without an explanation.
    Think about how many years it took for bright chemists to accept the atom- and molecule models.
    In chemistry, isomers are molecules or polyatomic ions with identical molecular formula.
    In stereochemistry, stereoisomerism, or spatial isomerism, is a form of isomerism in which molecules have the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms (constitution), but differ in the three-dimensional orientations of their atoms in space.
    In organic chemistry, endo-exo isomerism is a special type of stereoisomerism found in organic compounds with a substituent on a bridged ring system. The prefix endo is reserved for the isomer with the substituent located closest, or "syn", to the longest bridge. The prefix exo is reserved for the isomer with the substituent located farthest, or "anti", to the longest bridge. Here "longest" and "shortest" refer to the number of atoms that comprise the bridge. This type of molecular geometry is found in norbornane systems such as dicyclopentadiene.

    @alexandervoytov4966 Před 5 měsíci

    Nice work! I'd like to suggest more intro about molecular chemistry ( orbitals, etc) in reactions. Examples: H2 +O2 goes with explosion with practically any concentrations, any temperature, etc vs rusting going relatively slow and really depends on reaction conditions. Pb(N3)2 is very sensitive, very often self exploded under any conditions vs reactions require some concentration, temperature etc. One more suggestion is to talk about how chemical properties define the speed of reaction. Examples: H2+O2 -> blast always, but oil+O2 -> slow combustion always. Bonus topic, IMHO, about 'unknown' reactions. Example: plastit usually is very safe explosion. To detonate one, the one needs to apply high voltage like 15kV. For this reason, plastit is used for R&D work with explosions. But sometime plastit can detonate from unknown reason. It is very seldom. In my personal work, 2 times for several years. I had collected unused plastit into a wood box and blast happened. No reason, very seldom case, but could happen.

    For me, a non-native speaker, the thought process is already burdened, so the "ion ==> iron" is not caught in the first view (but of course in the second or third) still it leaves kind of fog when there also are so many other strange words.

    My first instinct would be that, by saying “molecules are floating around and the right bits need to hit for a reaction to happen”, we are excluding the combined effect of this extremely intricate, quasi discontinuous 3D texture of forces acting between EACH of these huge number molecules. The complicated movement the magnetic forces start to cause in small distances are also disregarded in all the 3D modelling we see in this video, e.g., at (1:38). I was really missing that, even if it’s something one might have hard time to model correctly. It wasn’t even attempted even if we know that the devil is in the details:) I’m sure that “the appropriate angle” is a wide range of angles in which the probability of reaction forms a curve. Is it meaningful and even possible to formulate an experiment to actually draw that curve with considerable precision? Worst of all, this curve is actually a surface, because an additional dimension, the energy (and frequency) of the collisions comes into the picture, not to even mentioning the potential other factors affecting the chance (and even the potential structure) of reactions that are happening.
    I’m also wondering what is supposed to make the distribution of the covalence electrons residing at the outside of molecules creating those crucial “patches of charge” that creates the slight attraction, which is pictured as a random fluctuation in local outer charge can possibly create a combined effect of general attraction as we hear at (3:25), and whether that fluctuation can or cannot be described as a wave, with frequency and even possibly amplitude. This is the first time I actually realise that the behaviour of nuclei are perfectly linear (they are evenly repelling the other nuclei while a reaction happens) while the electrons have that constant “fluctuation” of charge in themselves, which is crucial for the interaction with another entity to happen forming molecules and, later, complex molecules. Electrons, unlike protons and neutrons, are supposed to be fundamental particles. The question might automatically come: how can something so fundamental have such a complex behaviour like developing patches of different charge?

    • @ThreeTwentysix
      @ThreeTwentysix  Před 4 měsíci

      There are many parts to this question and I'm going to keep this brief, so this is just a starter:
      You”re absolutely right that reactions are, in general, much more complicated than I showed here, but:
      1) This is why I chose an inherently simple system. You are right that there is a correct cone of approach, but we can simplify that to a simple line without losing much information. However, detailed calculations would take that into account.
      2) There are actually many ways reactants can recombine to make the products but we focus on the lowest energy path because energy appears as an exponential in the equation for determining how fast the reaction goes. In short, that means that the difference between the lowest energy path and the second lowest energy path makes a huge difference to the reaction rate, and the second lowest energy path is *usually* insignificant.
      3) The fluctuation of electron density is known as Van de Waals interactions. Electrons in molecules can do this because they ‘move’ much faster than the protons. Similar situations do occur on the atomic and molecular scale, however, with temporary patches of relative positive and negative charge causing static electricity and lightning, for example. I did a video on static and another about lightning so check them out if you’re interested!

    • @idegteke
      @idegteke Před 4 měsíci

      ​@@ThreeTwentysix Thank you for caring for random viewers! 3) I will, most definitely, watch your video on static electricity, and will have a better look at the works of Van de Waals. 2) I wonder if we could just handle the steps of chemistry (disregarding particle physics for now... forming of compounds and molecules, forming of amino acids, combinations of monomers into polymers, proteins folding themselves into molecular machines... disregarding biology for now) as black boxes, and then ask ourselves in which particular box does emergence happen and guided by what factors? Can we “blame” those virtually random fluctuations, and usually insignificant events, that are equally happening in each above organisation level, for this emergence to apparently exist?

    Why can we apparently only DRAW pictures of biochemistry, while being unable to actually DO biochemistry...? I did notice that a recent Nobel went for Attosecond lasers, so now we can almost see what happens. Are we still so far away from mimicking mitochondria?

      You might be interesting in looking at supramolecular chemistry, where chemists often try to mimic these processes. But the simple answer to your question is that biological systems are insanely complex. It's no coincidence that the biology, biochemistry and chemistry departments are typically housed separate buildings. It wasn't a conscious decision but it's actually based on tiers of complexity.

      I may be starting to have an appreciation for the trial and error involved in catalysis. And maybe a suggestion for you... I'd love it if you'd walk us through how to hook up pyrolysis to haber bosch...? As I read this Wikipedia article, it looks like a lot of the cleaning and purification steps would still be needed, but maybe with the carbon "gone" it would be easier? Similarly, without carbon are the catalysts easier or harder? What is the deal with lithium binding to nitrogen so easily. Is that true? Would it help here? Thoughts?
      This is a long way of saying thank you for your channel and your replies to my silly questions. 👍

      I don't know what you're talking about here but you're certainly not dumb for listening to your chemistry teacher. More people should listen to their chemistry teachers! That said, chemistry is a phenomenally complex science, so we learn different explanations at different times. That often means we have to unlearn our high school chemistry when we get to university.

      Inductance, certainly but as for reversible capacitance, that's a very interesting question. I think the closest thing would be reversible redox, where molecules can gain or lose a certain number of electrons. If I were working in molecular electronics, you would have given me a great idea!

      Ultrasound can be used to accelerate reactions but it's because 1) ultrasound tends to heat up the solvent and/or 2) it breaks solid particles into smaller pieces. It's a common technique used to get relatively insoluble solids into solution faster.

    6:02 So molecules are “obviously stupid”, particles are even more obviously stupid with definitely no hidden variables (let alone tendencies), as we were univocally assured by the Copenhagen interpretation, the rules of nature are even more reliably stupid, depending only on a few predictable factors, therefore everything we can ever experience in our discoverable universe is inherently, “obviously” and utterly stupid, right?

    • @ThreeTwentysix
      @ThreeTwentysix  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Absolutely not. Intelligence (or let's call it decision-making) is an emergent property. That means the elements can be 'stupid' (like neurones) but the assembly is 'smart' (like... well, most humans).

      ​ @ThreeTwentysix I hope you don’t find this off-topic: If we just scientifically have a look at a YT comment, like this one, regardless of its validity or credibility, we will immediately have to face with a set of information that delivers a perfectly specific message to anybody who cares to read it. When picturing a closed system, like our discoverable universe, as something fundamentally free from any kind of outer source of information, and has a fully predictable internal scientific system, then what discoverable procedure has the transcendent power to create my comment from random primordial fluctuations? Could information really emerge from a predictable system that have never received information from anywhere outside of itself? Isn’t it against common logic, science aside? Is “emergence” a procedure that can be scientifically defined, because it has a finite number of factors that keep it working, or is emergence the collective name of all things in our discoverable universe that we cannot explain scientifically - therefore we named it, and by naming it we have created our sacred father AKA emergence:) That’s not science then, that’s a religion now which I have never had and I turned towards science in order to avoid bowing at the smelly feet of an imaginary magician, and what do I find in science? I find the sacred transcendent rainbow energy of “emergence” that, in its quasi infinite glory, created everything on the scale from rage over a comment to love of the truth.

    Strictly speaking, fine powders are more like to deflagrate than to explode. This is because the technical definition of an explosion requires the reaction to create a shock wave. No shock wave, no explosion.
    But a fireball in a flour mill is still a big heap of no fun.

      If the fire reaction doesn’t produce a shockwave, why do flower mills break up with high velocity splintering when the powder flash occurs?
      It looks like they explode, sending shrapnel in all directions. Is that shockwave a secondary effect of rapid temperature change in a relatively confined space driving up the pressure?

    • @nigeldepledge3790
