ChemWalk 002: Here, I share an intuitive description of free energy (i.e., Helmholtz free energy) that recently came to me.
ChemWalk is a new video series I'm starting where I candidly explain concepts in chemistry, math, and physics in on-the-go. The goal of this series is to focus on sharing intuition rather that getting too deep into the details, and just see the big picture. In the real world, having intuition for concepts can often be more valuable than remembering a formula or a procedure. By making these videos mostly unscripted, I force myself to draw out my intuition!
Enjoy!

5:41 , I really love this part !
I guessed it right near the beginning. It must a sign the lesson was good.
E is that quantity whose derivative is itself.
brilliant video. I would just add "... growth at the natural maximum rate of the 100%" at the ending of your definition.
That was a super-intuitive perspective on e. Next, how did e^ix come to represent points on a unit circle?
Fantastic Sir. This is the best video ever seen. Nobody is even close to the expertise of explanation.
The intro was too funny 🤣

I’m sorry, but I’ve taught this for almost 15 years, and even I didn’t have a clue what was going on or where we were going.
Very good!, Probably having a polarizer for the camera would be good investment.
Great video
THE SCREEN IS TOOO BRIGHTTTT
Or just dilute the acid by 1/10,000 and run a chloride analysis bingo exact Normality or Molarity for you younger people. Same for all mineral acids, I used to standardize my sulfuric to .0200N this way also.
Can you take a look at Karl Friston’s Free Energy & Active inference.
Hey man your videos are great I'm starting to understand something , just wanted to tell you in 2:03 the Subtitle says "two girls" instead of integral
Can u make a video for the surface integral 😇😇 , Great work btw
Great - Easy for a non-mathematically-inclined listener to follow
Odd how pi popped up and brought his buddy, .Cal Culus
You did not need to grade this in HDR, but I’m glad you dud
Thanks brother, for explaining concepts in simple words, please keep uploading more videos on Multivariable Calculus
How much you seem Iranian 🤔
informative video, thank you. can you recommend a chemical that will dissolve the gasoline varnish / gum out of an antique cars gas than that has sat for 25 years with fuel in it that wont eat the steel tank?
can you go over the simplified version of Schroedingers equation used by spectroscopists to predict photon wavelength from molecule (extended orbital) size via the 1 dimensional box approximation? (I notice that you are a Chemist.................)
Thank you. This is very good.
Nice video. Could be brilliant if you can proof it with calculus.
@19:59 There's a mistake: It's "100 times x percent", not x percent! Biggest trip-hazard with percentages that there is: forgetting that it's a hundredth-factor!
You have the same periodic table poster as me! Mine was a gift from my grandpa who was a chemist.
Every exponential function F has pair of functions of which one of them has smaller factor (base) and it represents instantaneous growth rate of the function F, and the other one has bigger base (factor) which represents continuous growth factor of function F. Thus function's instantaneous growth rate is it's instantaneous counterpart's discrete growth rate i.e: 1.051278^x have instantaneous growth rate of 5 %, the discrete rate of (1.05^x) And any 2 exponential functions' instantaneous growth rates are proportional to the exponential ratio of their factors: f(x) = a^x g(x) = b^x b = a^r r = log(b)/log(a) = ln(b) if instantaneous growth rate of f(x) is p: then for g(x) it's equal to r*p. Explanation with derivatives: b = a^r then g(x) = b^x = a^rx = (a^x)^r = (f(x))^r (f(x) to the pow r). And instantaneous growth rate is actually a constant that occures in the derivative of exponential function which is for f(x) is simply f'(x) = k1*f(x), for g'(x) acrrording to chain rule is: g'(x) = g(x) * k2 ((f(x))^r)' => r*f(x)^(r-1)*f'(x) = r*f(x)^r/f(x)*f(x)*k1 => r*g(x)*k1 = g(x) * k2 => r*k1 = k2 If U want to why growth rate is actually derivative for exponential functions watch 3Blue1Brown's video (3:57): ua-cam.com/video/m2MIpDrF7Es/v-deo.html I could'n yet figured out proportionality relationship between discrete and continuous growth rates of functions. This trio of functions ..... I(x) <=> D(x) <=> C(x) ...... chained in both direction infinitely. Every single one of them is instantaneous equivalent of the one on it's right and continuous equivalent of the one on it's left. In other words, every single function has instantaneous equivalent on it's left and continuous equivalent on it's right.
Since when does Exponential imply growing really fast?
so underrated, this needs more views
dude, you are incridibly awsome person
Excellent, Excellent, EXCELLENT video!!!
On release of ammonia slowly get diamnonium and monoammoniun phosphates. You could regenerate the triammonium with phosphoric acid once it gets old
the way i semi-formally proved the theorem was sort of like this: (click read more if you want to see it, don't click if you want to figure out yourself) (i'll use ellipses to indicate that a function or vector could continue to have any amount of variables/components) first off, dr = r'(t)dt = <x'(t)dt, y'(t)dt, … > = <dx, dy, … > ∇f = <∂f/∂x, ∂f/∂y, ... > ∇f•dr = ∇f•r'(t)dt= (∂f/∂x)dx + (∂f/∂y)dy + … a function's complete differential is equal to the sum of its partial derivatives, each multiplied by their corresponding differentials (e.g. (∂f/∂x)dx or anything similar) and the value of this dot product comes out to be in just the right form of this total differential so ∇f•dr = df now, before we move on, recall that we want to take the values of f at certain points plugging in t_0 or t_f alone won't do the job since we're talking multivariable here, but if we can find f in terms of t, that'll work so let's find f(r(t)) this will change f(x, y, … ) into f(x(t), y(t), … ) so now we can evaluate f at the t values now let's get back to the integral: we already know that by the FTC (or by the Generalized Stokes' Theorem) that the integral over an interval of the derivative of a function is equal to the original function at the bounds ∫_C ∇f•dr = ∫_{t_0} ^{t_f} df = f(r(t)) | _{t_0} ^{t_f} = f(r(t_f)) - f(r(t_0)) (the _{} ^{} indicates the bounds) and there we have it ∫_C ∇f•dr = f(r(t_f)) - f(r(t_0))
Brilliant stuff!
Yet another awesome video!
E😫
e just a number no a curve please explain to each other
Fantastic video. When I took real analysis I suddenly realized the proofs of theorems about generalized sets were outlined exactly in my elementary algebra and calculus texts in one variable.
Great explanation. I noticed you started saying _zero_ and _point_ instead of _o_ and _dot,_ congratulations!
Just magnificent! Thanks!!
is this taken in pimentel hall? go bears
ime impressed you are something else 😊😊👍👍

It is also unfortunate that you took the bacterium reproducing as an example for "self-referential growth". Because, other than "compound interest rates" (8:38...9:41) bacteria are counted with whole numbers: 1->2->4->8->16..., while interest rates are represented, as real numbers. There are serious mathematical implications: we can not integrate, differentiate find the maximum/minimum, and importantly find the limes as n-->oo for the discrete numbers of bacteria, like it is nonsense, when 2 bacteria would reproduce pi-number of bacteria, or infinite number of bacteria in between!! The foolish chemists usually make the same mistake, when they counted their atoms/molecules with whole numbers and go ahead to apply the maths for real numbers!
Your equation at (13:25..13:32): (lambda^(x) = 1.05, finding x) does not make sense at all. Lambda is per definition a limit value of an infinity series lambda = lim (1 + r/n)^n = 1.05 ..............n->oo So, for n=100,000 ; 10,000 ; 1,000 ; 100 we got: r= 0.048790176 ; 0.048790283 ; 0.04879135 ; 0.0488020
