  • Today's MedCat lesson covers chemical kinetics, covering briefly some relevant equations and even more relevant practice problems. This lesson falls squarely in the subject area of General Chemistry.

    just finished your bio/biochem playlist, and now im here. im testing in a day, and i honestly want to say through all the resources i burnt through, you stand alone in how effectively and clearly you relay these high yield topics. if anyone deserved to get into med school, amidst the gruelling admissions process, it was you!!!

      i ended up scoring a whole five points lower than my FL average (i scored a 510). nonetheless im happy and proud of whatever i got, but i don't know how this affects my chances.@@narutozzz6166

    I just wanna say I found your videos three days before testing and have been binge watching to help close some gaps before testing. Your videos are so clear and flow so well! I hope you’re prospering in medical school! Thank you!! 🙏🏽

    Hi! great videos! does this section of your playlist cover the physical and chemical foundations of the MCAT?

    Hi! Your R constant for Arrhenius is wrong, It is 8.314 not 8.134

      Thanks for pointing that out! You're absolutely right.

      @@medcatmcat For the MCAT, we can probably get away with just using R as 8 right?

      @@christophersalgado9068 idk if u still need this advice but close enough is good enough for the mcat (gravity = 10, pi = 3, etc)

      @medcatmcat  Před 2 lety +3

      @@christophersalgado9068 Most likely, yes. If a calculation is too complex and involves lots of decimals, often the AAMC will give the answer in a form like:
      A) [(1 mol)(8.314 J/mol*K)(300 K)]/(1 atm)
      That being said, if you memorize 8 J/mol*K, 8.314 is not too much more effort.

      @@zohaibsyed21 Agreed for the majority of questions! Sometimes answers will be somewhat close and you'll need to remember if you rounded up or down and how that might have changed your calculation.
