Hey Tyler! I am following your channel for a few weeks now and I got to say that you are rocking not only in America but in Israel too. I am currently learning for an exam and struggling with 1400 pages textbook, thank you and a bunch of other great online teachers, the struggling decreases. thanks for that.

[@equus2002]

This is the greatest video ever and I think you just saved my chemistry grade. I've been trying to understand all these calculations for the past month and I finally get it and can now complete my lab conclusion. THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU.

thank you for saving my chemistry grades

[@BrandyHowardlove]

I so wish you were my Chem teacher you explain it so clear and simple. I do not get the same understanding in class. Thank you so much!

[@TheBadger40]

Tyler I want to thank you for your efforts. I am a HS science teacher & I augment my instruction by using videos from people like you. When I get a transfer student that has gaps in their education, I point them to folks here like you. When I am absent, I often use videos for the sub to show. I am also moving to a project based learning environment & I often have students watch videos as HW and then we get together briefly to discuss the info, and then spend our time on labs!

[@DesireeMason-z9f]

This helped with my lab luv the way you break down the information because I wasn't able to find that in text book and I wasn't able to get in on a session on online tutoring. So thisjust made it easy for me. Thank you! :)

G.O.A.T = GREATEST teacher OF ALL TIME

[@RoninSama.official]

You're my chem saviour. But can I ask? How come I get 9.5%? 210-190=20/210=2/21 or 0.0952 x 100% = 9.5% ??

[@Tqnikah]

Exactly my point

you videos are just amazing. its absolutely phenomenal how you make everything so easy to understand. very clear and to the point, every confusing. thank you so much.

[@80greaty]

Had to watch this for science, it's going to be really helpful in class :)

[@TheKEbagwell]

THANK YOU!!! I was having such a hard time figuring out these equations. You were SUPER helpful!

[@jonathanalban4354]

how come you dont use 4.184 as the specific heat capacity for water?

[@tdewitt451]

Jonathan Alban It's just different units. The way 12 inches equals 1 foot. 4.184 Joules is equal to 1 Calorie. So water has a specific heat capacity of 1 cal/g•ºC, or 4.184 J/g•ºC.

[@karthikpullella5868]

+Tyler DeWitt but when you use 4.184 Joules, you get a totally different answer

[@michaelstuart2340]

+Tyler DeWitt 4.184 Joules equals 1 Calorie, not 1 calorie. You then converted something that was already in Calories to Calories, because you put that 1 Joule equals 1 calorie.

[@tdewitt451]

+Fresh StopMotionReviews No, 4.184 KILOjoules equals 1 Calorie (uppercase). 4.184 Joules equals one calorie (lowercase). I don't fully understand what you're saying in your comment, but my math is right here.

[@swedishfish5622]

I'm eating hot cheeto puffs. just figured out each puff has 12 frikin Cals in it. Imma go burn it w/ fire

Thank you sm, I understand everything now, I have a lab tomorrow on this exact concept and I was able to plan out my whole lab. Thank you sm, may god bless you

[@josvanr]

What bugs me is how you can ever warm up 150g water by 65 degrees celcius by burning a single potato chip. Id have enough trouble getting it to burn at all. If youd start at a moderate temp of 35 deg, that water would be boiling! What kind of crisps are you using? Made of gun powder?

[@nazmabegum7695]

Very organized and clearly explained !

[@bumbojumbo2311]

You have just saved me. You are a God.

[@brionmartin5693]

lets not get carried away now

[@Alice444V]

Thank you I was stuck this really helped teachers don't explain

[@aasksaaas]

amazing I had an Energy online quiz and I only had 4 mins left and I did it correct. If 200 g of water is heated from 5 C to 25 C, then what is the heat added in kilocalories (same as food calories)? 200*20= 4000 = 4000/1000 = 4 kcal. Thanks Tyler

[@davidlesmana8542]

1.75 g is the mass of potato chips burnt to raise the temperature of water, right? Not the initial mass of potato chips, right?

[@dc-nw8kv]

how did you get 11% for the percent error? i got 9.5% when i calculated for percent error?

[@anthonydavis5288]

You're awesome! Thanks for being so detailed and having a great presentation.

[@budekins542]

Does heating the potato chip Add energy to it or is the added heat Only converting the chemical energy in the chip to its own heat energy?

[@jessicalevin9865]

Isn't the percent error: 9.5% and not 11%? (210-190)/210?

[@mugglepuff]

that's what I got too

[@laxbro185]

this video saved me in my chemistry class

[@hannahriedl3920]

How would I solve this, I am so confused...Using dodecane, the calorimeter constant was found to be 28.9 kJ/°C, calculate the amount of kilocalories (Cal) per gram given off by a unknown sample if burning 0.5 g caused the temperature of the calorimeter to rise from and initial temperature of 25.0 °C to 30.5 °C. (Reminder: food labels use calories (Cal); 1 Cal = 1000 cal; 1 cal = 4.184 J)

[@jarelybernal9893]

How can you lower your percent error (what modifications can you make to the lab) so it can get closer to 0%

[@devinmckenna4792]

excellent video. Very clean and precise.

[@keaton_james]

Your videos are the best, man.

[@DesireeMoreau]

Hi I just have a question...when I do the math out to calculate percent error I am getting 9.5%. Can someone explain how the percent error stated in the video is 11%??

[@RuthTaveras-d3b]

I am also getting 9.5%

[@tshepanangvissagie6789]

what application are you using to shoot diz videos?

[@luclloyd7809]

why is my percent of error 9.5% i inputed |210 - 190|/210 x 100% is there some mistake I've done?

[@Cotoco72]

What I was taught about percent error is measured value - accepted value OVER accepted value (that answer) times 100

[@trent3411]

37 people got hit with too much knowledge and missed the like button

[@jennamarcus4283]

I'm confused because I'm pretty sure my teacher told us that for finding the number of Calories per gram we needed to divide the amount of Calories by the CHANGE in mass of the chip after it was burned rather than the initial mass of the chip as it was done in this vid... this way makes more sense so i'm not sure if my teacher misspoke but when i do it this way my percent error was so high

[@athickie]

You are an excellent teacher

[@Alejo91PA]

I love this Dr. Tyler!!!! I'm big fan of yours

[@xoxosweetheart1493]

how many kcal of heat energy did the potato chip release when burned?

[@purplelight4444]

This man is true hero!

[@bridgitmfansite]

how do I solve for energy content if only one temperature is given? ex: my test problem says "A 1.0 g sample of food reacts with oxygen in a calorimeter containing 500 g of water. The temperature rises 10°C. What is the energy content of the food?" do i subtract the given temp from 100°C or just multiply the given temp?

[@foodengineer1763]

I think the difference of temperature is already given cause u ve said " rises 10°C means it was in a temperature and it rises 10°C to be in a another temperature I think just multiply

[@sizwembokazi8725]

187 calories bro!(elps: 8:50) you missed the equation :) anyway your videos are awesome!

[@kelliechow5232]

Hi, to figure out the Calories per gram, was 1.75g the initial mass?

[@SissiLoce]

I'm literally looking for this comment but no one has replied for 7 years...

[@jacobgarland1123]

post more dood realy helpful for my science exams 👨‍❤️‍👨

[@WhySoCuriousGeorge]

Can calirimetry or a similar process be used for liquids? Say if i wanted to find out how much energy is in different sodas??

[@tdewitt451]

Yes, but you'd have to evaporate them first, because water can't burn. So like for a soda, you'd evaporate it, and then the sugary goo that's left over at the bottom of the glass, you'd burn that and do calorimetry.

[@WhySoCuriousGeorge]

Tyler DeWitt so I could then afterwards do an experiment to test the amount of energy each releases? I'm trying to come up with an idea for a chemistry investigation and really struggling

[@tdewitt451]

Yes.

[@giovannitorres5933]

Can't we just plug in the specific heat of water for (c) instead of writing down (1cal/g xCelsius?

[@bellajavakhishvili8921]

great explanation, thank you

[@ara1303]

You. Are. Amazing.

[@jimbo2199]

I'm pretty sure you are actually supposed to divide the Calories by the change in mass, not the original mass. You do this so that you can actually find how much energy was released and not extra mass

[@spyhuntersly]

the heat capacity of water for c is 4.19 J/

[@Blueturple]

Why not do initial temperature minus the final temperature? That is what i ma doing for my chemistry lab.

[@zenenberg3268]

Perfect! Lot of thanks to you. It very helps my project! Again thank you very much! 👍

[@evelynle9154]

if it wasn't for your video, i would still be staring at my chem lab. Please be my teacher instead!

wouldn't we use the mass of the potato chip? i did this with a nut in school and we measured the mass before and after the burning..

how u solve for kilocalories????
