    Funny chemistry story (actually, not really, lab safety ain't no joke kids...):
    I once had my shirt disintegrated off me. A classmate walked right behind me and I didn't know he was there and I bumped into him. I don't remember the concentration, but unfortunately for me he was carrying a tray with phosphoric acid. It wasn't life threatening but about an hour later while riding the bus home, I was feeling a little itchy on my shoulder where the acid spilled on me. I reached back to scratch it and my shirt just started...well...disintegrating at the touch. I lost the whole upper right side of my shirt.
    Confused the hell out of the bus driver, who noticed my current state of attire as I was exiting the bus, before she could ask I said, "Don't worry, I just had acid spilled on me in chemistry." I then proceeded to take long and thorough shower as soon as I got home.

      A 'friend of a friend' being funny in class when lab safety was being covered - you know: "don't inhale directly, just waft it towards you", was being a typical asshat and while repeating something to the effect of "ahh, the wafting sensation" was a little too vigorous, and waved too hard, or inhaled too deeply, but definitely knocked himself out. He made a full recovery, and the rest of my High School life was filled with a "enjoy the wafting sensation" joke whenever someone passed gas in that group of friends. As teenage boys, you can image, it was often. Incidentally, we did *not* in fact enjoy it, at all.

    I love the way that Chemistry is handled in these videos. It makes Chemistry seem like a fun, easy to understand science, as opposed to an impossibly difficult science that a lot of media portrays it to be. That, and these videos are extremely helpful for brushing up on material learned in the classroom.

  • @FiratHira
    @FiratHira 10 років тому +74

    Just to make sure I have this right as some of the calculations set out below seem incorrect:
    For 1 metric ton of coal containing 3% Sulphur the following applies:
    30 Kg of Sulphur requires as calculated in the video: 30000 g of S / 32.065 = 935.59956 moles then as 1 mole of S reacts with 1 moles of CaCo3 = 935.59956 * 100.09 = 93644.159 g which is = 93.64 Kg of CaCo3 to fully neutralize it producing 112.431 Kg of CaSo3. Therefore you need ~ 3.12 Kg of CaCo3 to neutralize 1 Kg of Sulphur.
    Knowing this, the approximate answers would be as follows for 1x10^9 metric tons of coal:
    The amount of Sulphur produced from 1 metric ton of coal = 30 Kg * 1 billion = 3.0x10^10 Kg of S produced.
    The amount of CaCo3 needed for 1 metric ton of coal = 93.64 * 1 billion = 9.364x10^10 Kg of CaCo3 needed (which is 3.121 times the amount of Sulphur produced).
    Finally the amount of CaSo3 produced from 30 Kg of Sulphur reacting with 93.64 Kg of CaCo3 = 112.431 * 1 billion = 1.12431x10^11 Kg of CaSo3 produced.
    RFM for Sulphur = 32.065 g
    RFM for CaCo3 = 100.09 g
    RFM for CaSo3 = 120.17 g
    Good luck to all!

    What a great Crash Course! I have wanted to see something like this for a very long time. I knew I was really interested in chemistry, but not all the details, and found it very hard to find any really great educational shows about it. Hank presents it better than I could have hoped for: it's fun to learn the material. Hank and John are my new heroes - seriously. This material and others like it to follow can completely democratize education. May everyone find out about it.

    The answer to the question in the video:
    Since a ton (1000kg) of coal produces 30kg of sulfur, a billion tons (1,000,000,000kg) would produce 30,000,000kg (30,000,000,000g) of sulfur.
    The molar mass for limestone (CaCO3) is 32.1 g/mol.
    30,000,000,000 g ÷ 32.1 g/mol = 934,579,439.3 moles of sulfur.
    Since one mole of sulfur equals one mole of CaCO3 used, 934,579,439.3 moles of limestone is needed.
    The molar mass of CaCO3 is 100.1 g/mol.
    934,579,439.3 mol × 100.1 g/mol = 9.36 × 10^10 g = 93,4441,401.87 kg of CaCO3
    93.4 million kilograms (94 thousand tons) of limestone would be used.
    (sorry I didn't count the significant digits in my calculations. Pls correct me if I had a mistake. Also, after reading this, you may as well guess my age.)

    • @thequeenofswords7230
      @thequeenofswords7230 9 років тому +5

      Thanks, I was looking for this comment.
      Intelligence is a poor thing to judge age based on, but based on the fact that you're asking I would hazard a guess at around 15.
      Also; what no Stoichiometetric equation?!?
      Just kidding. ^_^

    • @durugyakos1
      @durugyakos1 9 років тому +11

      Be careful with the powers of 10 when converting tons to kilogramms. A billion tons = 1,000,000,000 tons = 1,000,000,000,000 kg = 1,000,000,000,000,000 g (1000^5 or 10^15 grams), so 30,000,000 kg of sulfur that you calculated would be the amount produced by a million tons of coal. For a billion tons of coal approximately 93.6 billion kilograms (96 million tons) of limestone would be needed

    • @seancrockett4141
      @seancrockett4141 9 років тому +5

      Reawaken :3 The molar mass for limestone is not 32.1g/mol... it's about 100.1 g/mol. Won't that change the final answer?

    • @seancrockett4141
      @seancrockett4141 9 років тому +4

    It's called "Crash Course" for a reason. It doesn't go into the deeper details, but instead gives the general oversight and helps people grasp the baser ideas of a given subject and then move onto the more advanced material at their own rate. Crash Course doesn't go into the same detail as a Textbook will, but is easier to understand. In order to move to more advanced material, one requires the base knowledge that could be provided by this video.

  • @fartzinwind

    Go Brown! As suggested by one of the best TV hosts ever, Mike Rowe. Cleanish coal is better than no coal. You can't just shut off all the coal plants in the US like a light switch. You have to phase them out slowly while other energy sources are put in place. Going green isn't always an option, but you almost always start by going brown.

I actually watch this at 1.7x faster than normal, but if 1.0 is too fast for you, you can try 0.7x or even 0.5x. If you don't see the option on UA-cam automatically, try an excellent Chrome extension called Video Speed Contoller.

    When you ate that lemon slice I salivated. Just though that was interesting.

    • @S23K
      @S23K 10 років тому

      when you eat or drink something acidic your mouth secretes saliva in an attempt to neutralize the acid and prevent it doing harm - so it makes perfect sense.

    • @smellywellybelly
      @smellywellybelly 10 років тому

      It does make sense that *he* would salivate, but I salivated just from watching it. I know it happens, one salivates just from looking at food sometimes, but there's probably some cool psychology in there somewhere.

    • @S23K
      @S23K 10 років тому

      I'd say it's simple empathy (the natural human ability to imagine one's self doing something another is doing).
      It is so natural that sometimes it's easy to forget how incredible it really is - to cause a physical reaction in your body in response to seeing Hank eat a lemon (over a year ago and presumably a great distance away) in this case!
