  • @FartCloudEmergency
    @FartCloudEmergency 10 років тому +13

    If you're wondering how he got the quadratic equation:
    115=(4x^2)/[(1.00-x)(2.00-x)]
    since (1.00-x)(2.00-x)=(1*2)+(-1x)+(-2x)+(x^2)=x^2-3x+2
    then 115=(4x^2)/(x^2-3x+2)
    subtract 115 from both sides: 0=[(4x^2)/(x^2-3x+2)]-115
    Common denominator step: 0=[(4x^2)/(x^2-3x+2)]-[115(x^2-3x+2)]/(x^2-3x+2)
    0=[(4x^2)-(115[x^2-3x+2])]/(x^2-3x+2)
    since 115(x^2-3x+2)=115x^2-345x+230
    then 0=[(4x^2)-(115x^2-345x+230)]/(x^2-3x+2)
    0=(-111x^2-345x+230)/(x^2-3x+2)
    =(111x^2-345x+230)/(-x^2-3x+2)
    multiply (-x^2-3x+2) on both sides: 0=111x^2-345x+230

    • @wopol538
      @wopol538 9 років тому +11

      Or for something more simple:
      115 = 4x^2 / [(1.00 - x)(2.00 - x)]
      115 = 4x^2 / (x^2 - 3x + 2)
      115(x^2 - 3x + 2) = 4x^2
      115x^2 - 345x + 230 = 4x^2
      115x^2 - 4x^2 - 345x + 230 = 0
      111x^2 - 345x + 230 = 0

      Isn't that complex, if you need to find equilibrium, draw rice. If you don't have a numerical value at equilibrium, use unknown X. For the theory part, just use LCP to answer your way through. IMO, chemical equilibrium is way easier than ionic equilibrium or chemical kinetics

    @dannyhuang8773 9 років тому

    According to what I learned. Sometimes, you can simplify the algebra. For example, you try to find x and you have to information K=1.3*10^-22=x^2/(2.00-x). The value of K is very small so you can assume that x is also very small and negligible. Therefore, you can assume 2.00 - x = 2.00 and solve.
    x^2 = 1.3*10^-22/2.00
    and then take the square root and get 8.1*10^-12.
    You can find that x is indeed very small. You can check by subtracting 8.1*10^12 from x. In the end, it would still be 2.00 after you round it to the right number of significant figures.

    It may not be more descriptive, but it is more precise. "Power" is a fairly common word with many meanings... In physics, for example, "power" has a technical meaning and it's nice not to need to say something like "the power of the power" when you mean "the exponent of the power."

    Pardon me if I understood this wrong, but I hope somebody can tell me what is correct: Hank says in this video as well as the previous one that equilibrium is when the forward reaction happens at the same rate as the backwards reaction. But as far as I learned, those two rates don't have to be equal, they just have to be CONSTANT (for instance you could have much more reactants turning into products than products turning into reactants but it would still be an equilibrium reaction). Thank you!

    Currently I'm in Chem III at my high school which for my school is a dual credit course through a university. We are just starting it now.

    Cool, this is exactly what we are doing at school. Almost skipped the video because I did not know the translation to the terms.
    Nice recap for me

    This helps so much, you make it possible to pass chemistry 30. I hope I pass my chem test tomorrow.

    I will NEVER forget the Quadratic Formula thanks to my 8th grade math teacher who taught it to us by setting it to the tune of Pop! Goes the Weasel

    Most often, you would really just use the same equation Hank showed in the video (products/reactants = Keq). The final concentration of the products would be determined using some form of analytic technique (spectrophotometry, chromatography, etc.) depending on the reaction. You can then calculate the final concentrations of the reactants. From there, it's just a matter of plugging your concentrations into the equation to calculate Keq.

    Insightful as always. Just one question though, how can you use factoring to get the same results? Of course it is without a doubt that it would take much longer than just simply using the quadratic formula. But if there in one thing that I learned in math, is that there are various ways to get one answer. In the case of quadratics there are at least 2 different ways to get an answer.

    Hey CrashCourse I hope that you would notice me. Watching your opening video makes me enjoy the video that i am watching. I hope that you will put more animation to your videos for it will not just give us knowledge but also entertainment
