    Why couldn't my teacher just use tylers videos as lecture? first chem test i took read the chapter, did all the practice problems and read the slides, made a 75 and almost made me drop the class. 2nd test all i did was skim the slides and watch tylers videos and i got a 98. Teacher literally accused me of cheating, but once i showed her ur explanations her mind was blown and now she suggests u to all her students.

  • @jjzellers
    @jjzellers 9 років тому +28

    It might be better to explain that when you move the variables that you need to the left side of the equation, the variables on the right side are all ones that are not changing. So, for example if you are given a problem with an initial temperature and pressure, and are asked for what the pressure is if the temperature changes, the number of molecules (n), the gas constant (R) and the volume (V) are all constant. Or in other words P1/T1 = nr/V = T2/T2.

  • @tdewitt451
    @tdewitt451  12 років тому +9

    yeah, that can work, but not if you want to find the number of moles, like in avogadro's law for example. there are certainly many ways to remember this; the method i talk about here is just one. do whatever works for you!

    you get rid of it, because you don't need it. remember: you're not solving PV=nRT, you're just using it for a trick to be able to get any gas law you need. so don't worry about getting rid of parts of the equation. you just get what you need on one side, get rid of everything else, and then double what you need on the other side of the equation, and you're done--that's your new equation.

    If you cancel out the pressures in (P1xV1)/T1 = (P2xV2)/T2, then you'll be left with V1/T1 = V2/T2.
    charles law is V1/T1 = V2/T2. What you said, V1xT2 = V2xT1, is the same as V1/T1 = V2/T2; just rearranged differently.
    hope this helped :)

It's easier to figure it out on our own, which isn't always easy. Your videos have made things so much more clear for me, and several of my classmates. Thank you!

  •  12 років тому

    The mathematical explanation to removing nR/V in the beginning is that the variables in nR/V (n, R and V) are all unchanged. The only thing that was changed was the pressure (p) and the temperature (T) You can say that you must compensate for the change in the individual variable of p or T, so that the value of the expression p/T stays the same. So if p/T is the same at all times, p1/T1=p2/T2 is true.
    (After 30 minutes of trying to get it simple I see why you left that out.)

    The Ideal Gas Equation (expressions) may be derived simply by studying the fact that multiplying by one is symmetric in yield to adding zero.
