18.2 Entropy | General Chemistry

[@sambaradaran2633]

I used to learn chemistry, now I enjoy chemistry; and I owe this to your videos!!!! Your teaching really changed my prespective. Honestly, before getting to know this channel, passing my exam was my main concern, now i just wanna learn more, worried that passing the exam may put an end to my learning... Thanks for your great work!!!

[@ChadsPrep]

You're very welcome and Thank You for sharing your change in perspective - very gratifying!

[@jazminrojas4431]

Makes so much more sense, thanks Chad!!

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad to hear it!

[@gavindiff9129]

thank so so much i was a little confused when my teaher went over this but I'm starting to get it! now I just gotta do some book problems and go to office hours and ill be golden.

[@ChadsPrep]

You're welcome, Gavin - glad to hear you are making progress!

[@agentj890]

About to take my final in Physical Chemistry, this helped a ton!

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad to hear it - hope you do well on your final!

[@KatherineRSendelbach]

Phenomenal as always ❤

[@ChadsPrep]

Thank you so much 😀

[@RiyaRoy-hd3ub]

I am a botany student and it helps me alot for understanding the concept of water potential...

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad to hear it!

[@namhlamadlala321]

best teacher ever

[@ChadsPrep]

Thank you

[@CanadianBrewingChannel]

I am a refrigeration mechanic. Not a chemist lol. Always been fascinated by thermodynamics. Got a little lost but I think I get it. Thanks for the video.

[@ChadsPrep]

Welcome to the channel/video - glad you found some value!

[@kimchi515]

Thank you so much, your video is very helpful!!! The way you explain the concept is so simple, it was really hard for me to understand the textbook and even in class because the explanation always uses complex words, the struggle of the international student:")

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad the channel is helping you - Happy Studying!

[@skylardean4540]

As I set yet another curve and classmates ask me what my secret is, I coolly respond, "it's Chad."

[@ChadsPrep]

Let 'em know so they can be as cool as you. :-)

[@rickywilliams7919]

Do you have a Masters in Chemistry and Physics.Cheers Ricky

You're welcome x3 - Happy Studying!

Is it appropriate to say dna has a high entropy as a molecule and as a information system?

[@ChadsPrep]

You could say that DNA has a lot of entropy as a molecule (lots of possible microstates) but I don't how exactly to relate that to its role as an information system. And with DNA people are often more concerned with the entropy CHANGE involved in its formation or existence rather than the amount of entropy a DNA molecule has. Hope this helps!

[@estimatingonediscoveringthree]

Thank you Chad How does this relate to boze-Einstein condensate?

[@ChadsPrep]

A boze-Einstein condensate is a gas of bosons with some interesting quantum mechanical properties that is formed at near zero Kelvin. The 3rd Law of Thermodynamics speaks more broadly of any substance being cooled to absolute zero. Assuming it adopts a pure crystalline structure it would then have zero entropy. But keep in mind this is also somewhat theoretical as we never quite achieve absolute zero Kelvin in practice (but pretty close!).

[@circuitman8792]

Why did you use the symbol for ohms?

[@ChadsPrep]

The capital omega, a greek letter, is used as the symbol for Ohms in physics but also for the number of microstates here for the calculation of entropy. It is the same Greek letter used in both places. Hope this helps!

[@kollomalloff469]

Does your general chemistry and high school chemistry playlist cover all of AP chemistry content?

[@ChadsPrep]

Hello James. My high school playlist does not; it was designed for a standard high school chemistry class rather than an AP chemistry class. But my general chemistry playlists (old and new) definitely do. Hope this helps!

[@otsi.l]

Thanks Champ.

[@ChadsPrep]

You're welcome

Nice video

[@ChadsPrep]

Thanks

[@adelmusaed7959]

Amazing 🎉

What a Chad

[@ChadsPrep]

Happy Studying!

[@RelaxRailRide]

Nice sir

[@ChadsPrep]

Thanks!

I’m can’t help but to read his shirt as “devils son”

[@ChadsPrep]

[@TheRooflesstoofless]

This comment is to let you know you’re awesome 😅

[@ChadsPrep]

Thanks!

[@garysampson5232]

Oops... Your formula is wrong. 2C + O2 --> 2(CO2) is not correct. You don't get 2 moles of carbon dioxide as stated in the lecture. How about 2C + O2 --> 2(CO) You do get 2 moles of carbon monoxide.

[@bwpssds]

Thank god someone actually noticed it. It really bugged me bc it's the opposite, 1 mole solid substance and 1 mole gas turns into 1 mole gas. That means that entropy decreases. And we know that's the case bc entalpy will also decrease, since burning coal produces heat, so the reaction is exothermic.
