Electrochemistry Galvanic/Voltaic Cell Battery Made Super Simple! MCAT Chemistry

[@kareemzade4476]

I have a bachelors in bio and a master's in biomedical sciences and throughout my lifetime as a student, not one single professor has explained this as easily and thoroughly as you have. Thanks!

[@mohamadekrama81]

Wow Wow wow

[@zalpal123]

I have studied this so many times, and this is the first time it actually makes sense to me! Thank you so much for your videos :) The way that you explain and repeat important concepts really helps me understand!!

[@futuredoc7303]

Extremely helpful, thank you. PLEASE make more amazing MCAT material, it's greatly appreciated!

[@abigailadera2264]

I hope you get matched to your dream residency

[@sciencesimplified3890]

Thank you that was a very kind comment!

[@mcat1085]

Your videos are GOLD so clear and explains every single things that clear everything! Thank you I hope you continue making these videos!!!

[@Person46883]

These are the best videos!!! You are a talented teacher please keep making videos this helped me understand this so well for my mcat!

[@keyannasafforld2341]

i could cry. one month until my exam...fillling content gaps...2 mins in and i never understood this better THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@tanvirlatif3203]

You are the world's greatest human being

[@madeleine_isaa]

Was doing some review for MCAT- This was a great refresher!

[@lauraacosta7907]

took my last gchem class 3 years ago and have never been able to understand this until now. you are the absolute GOAT!!!!!

[@gooddeedsleadto7499]

We used galvanic protection to prevent pipeline corrosion in petrochemical refinery. We measured the current as part of inspection to make sure the buried hydrocarbons pipelines were prevented from corrosion. We buried sacrificial anodes. This is one of the responsibilities of Inspection Engineers working on pipelines in petrochemical refineries. Inspection Engineers are generally Process Mechanical Engineers.

[@anthoniaaralu4023]

for 6:05, how is Au(gold) getting oxidized when it has a higher reduction potential? I think I might be getting the concepts missed up.

[@zoenmartinez-]

bless this man

[@EthanMaxwell-bo4ui]

gotta be illegal how simple you made this

[@AnnaLee-rl6mh]

You just blew my mind. Thank you. you are so good at explaining things and teaching

[@AlisonGibsonArtwork]

Amazing, just amazing. Studied this so much through reading and anki but somehow just watching this video immediately makes it all click

[@ThomasParrish]

Wonderful video

[@moeshaq6903]

I never usually comment on YT vids. But your explanation is amazing. Thank you!

[@gerryaraujo7852]

Excellent explanation! I didn’t know about the term “intrinsic positiveness” until now. This is another way of looking at the values of reduction potentials and decide which metal gets oxidized and which one is reduced.

[@sciencesimplified3890]

Just FYI, intrinsic positiveness is just a term I’ve made up to explain this concept lol… in my mind it really helps make this topic intuitive and make sense and I think will help for all intents and purposes you’ll come across moving forward!

[@LowTideLegends]

Bless your soul, my friend -Abe

[@TheFireMage100]

Studying chem at degree level and Im not a huge fan of the "positiveness" idea personally. Makes more sense to say "more readily accepts electrons" in my head. Besides me being weird with that one thing, loved absolutely everything else. This is one of the concepts I just couldnt understand for months no matter who tried to help me and youve managed to help me understand in literally just 20 minutes

[@sabrsana]

Love ur videos. Truly you have taught me how to think! I hope your in medical school now/doing well and sending so many good vibes.

[@weikunli1374]

Holy caw you are good! No wonder you got such high scores

[@tylerpaquin6929]

so good

[@shawnanderson4496]

You're the best at explaining concepts

[@mohamadekrama81]

You are a gift from God

[@keertikurapati7303]

You are amazing!!!!!

[@nealjani8919]

Fantastic explanation, thank you!

[@pranaymaniar1468]

wait i think you mixed up the positive and negative sign? wouldn’t the electrons go from the negatively charge anode to the positively charged cathode

[@sciencesimplified3890]

Can you tell me specifically what moment in the video you’re confused about

[@pranaymaniar1468]

@@sciencesimplified3890 yes, the last 30 seconds show the flow of electrons from anode to cathode. however, isn’t the cathode positive in a galvanic cell?

[@sciencesimplified3890]

I see... so what I was showing is how negative potential builds up on the right side (because negative electrons are flowing in that direction)... so this would minimize the thermodynamic favorability of this reaction as the right side builds up negative charge due to accumulating negative density from the electrons.. therefore you need a salt bridge to mask and ameliorate these electric potentials... so I was illustrating why we need salt bridges to allow this battery to remain spontaneous

[@SBchicadebaile]

is there a video on the electrolytic cell?

[@alexcooper-hohn4259]

Thank you so much

[@amaliasanches2951]

thank you so much for this

[@rishitachamarthi9060]

Thank you so much! This helped a lot

[@rachel39321]

ah but is the cathode where reduction takes place or does the cathode itself gets reduced? as in is the cathode a reducing agent or oxidizing agent?

[@robertkranz4756]

Very nice-- thanks so much!!

[@MonaEMedicine]

Great explanation, thank you!

[@globetrekker7905]

Thank you for your help

[@lauraashley2933]

thank you so much, this finally helped it click! God bless ♥

[@VyvienneEaux]

I don't know if "intrinsic positiveness" is much less confusing. I prefer "electron affinity," because then I don't even have to remember that electrons like positive charge to know where they're headed. The one with higher electron affinity wins!

[@theegress3131]

I love you bro

[@justino4084]

Hero.

[@willfrye1987]

another home run.

[@danmarqkquez5495]

Hi Sir! May you provide us a clear explanation on how the copper and silver ions initiate the flow of electrons through the wire?

[@danmarqkquez5495]

As well as why is it necessary to place the metal electrodes in solutions of their own ions?

[@jzhvaeduh]

AN OX, RED CAT

[@momenakhatoon5996]

So we CAN make gold.

[@sciencesimplified3890]

Haha yup! Well at least turn soluble ionized gold into solid gold haha... what’s more interesting is we can shoot neutrons at mercury atoms and this will form an unstable mercury isotope that’ll beta decay into real stable gold atoms! This is 100% real and backed by science! Only problem is this entire process is magnitudes times more expensive than just buying plain old gold from the pawn shop haha
