Funny chemistry story (actually, not really, lab safety ain't no joke kids...): I once had my shirt disintegrated off me. A classmate walked right behind me and I didn't know he was there and I bumped into him. I don't remember the concentration, but unfortunately for me he was carrying a tray with phosphoric acid. It wasn't life threatening but about an hour later while riding the bus home, I was feeling a little itchy on my shoulder where the acid spilled on me. I reached back to scratch it and my shirt just started...well...disintegrating at the touch. I lost the whole upper right side of my shirt. Confused the hell out of the bus driver, who noticed my current state of attire as I was exiting the bus, before she could ask I said, "Don't worry, I just had acid spilled on me in chemistry." I then proceeded to take long and thorough shower as soon as I got home.
A 'friend of a friend' being funny in class when lab safety was being covered - you know: "don't inhale directly, just waft it towards you", was being a typical asshat and while repeating something to the effect of "ahh, the wafting sensation" was a little too vigorous, and waved too hard, or inhaled too deeply, but definitely knocked himself out. He made a full recovery, and the rest of my High School life was filled with a "enjoy the wafting sensation" joke whenever someone passed gas in that group of friends. As teenage boys, you can image, it was often. Incidentally, we did *not* in fact enjoy it, at all. -Shawn
I'm lucky enough to have a great one. They're quite rare. ..Except I'm missing a shit ton of school because I'm sick and Hank's a great teacher too. :D
Yeah...my chem teacher is like "Here is a worksheet with some notes...sorta...figure out this whole unit, I'm not going to explain anything.....here is your test. 20 questions...oh, why did all of you fail?"
Crash Course is undoubtedly the best educational channel on RUclips. However, it would be great if more topics could be incorporated by adding more series, like physics, math, and a series specifically on DNA or something. I really appreciate what you guys do, so thank you! #CrashCourse
Well now there is psychology, philosophy, and I think they will only continue to expand their range of topics. Especially, as more students, and whatnot, discover their channel.
I love the way that Chemistry is handled in these videos. It makes Chemistry seem like a fun, easy to understand science, as opposed to an impossibly difficult science that a lot of media portrays it to be. That, and these videos are extremely helpful for brushing up on material learned in the classroom.
Just to make sure I have this right as some of the calculations set out below seem incorrect: For 1 metric ton of coal containing 3% Sulphur the following applies: 30 Kg of Sulphur requires as calculated in the video: 30000 g of S / 32.065 = 935.59956 moles then as 1 mole of S reacts with 1 moles of CaCo3 = 935.59956 * 100.09 = 93644.159 g which is = 93.64 Kg of CaCo3 to fully neutralize it producing 112.431 Kg of CaSo3. Therefore you need ~ 3.12 Kg of CaCo3 to neutralize 1 Kg of Sulphur. Knowing this, the approximate answers would be as follows for 1x10^9 metric tons of coal: The amount of Sulphur produced from 1 metric ton of coal = 30 Kg * 1 billion = 3.0x10^10 Kg of S produced. The amount of CaCo3 needed for 1 metric ton of coal = 93.64 * 1 billion = 9.364x10^10 Kg of CaCo3 needed (which is 3.121 times the amount of Sulphur produced). Finally the amount of CaSo3 produced from 30 Kg of Sulphur reacting with 93.64 Kg of CaCo3 = 112.431 * 1 billion = 1.12431x10^11 Kg of CaSo3 produced. RFM for Sulphur = 32.065 g RFM for CaCo3 = 100.09 g RFM for CaSo3 = 120.17 g Good luck to all!
+Atomic Ninja Neither is Bill Nye. Evangelism's definition specifically refers to conversion to Christianity. Bill Nye is not telling people to be atheist or agnostic, but is merely anti-religion. And rightly so.
Hank, I can never thank you enough for those crash courses! After a semester without chemistry, I definitely needed to freshen up my knowledge to be able to follow my "Industrial applications of chemistry" class in college. Thank you (and the whole team) so much! :D
I really wish i could have seen this channel back in high school when my chemistry teachers sucked and made me hated the subject. You make chemistry much more of fun than boring equations, man!
+Frederick Schulze Haha xD got high school exams in 2 days, need to learn all subjects from scratch since I don't go to school... French will kill me, don't speak a word of it and need to be near-native in 6 days :c
+pianosRepic wow you are FUCKED but as a pretty good french student if you learn how to conjugate into the past and future tenses that should get you pretty far as a speaker
+Sexual Chocolate exams are state regulated in the Netherlands, you can just sign up, pay 500 euro's or so and take the exams, even if you are a homeless dude or a couch potatoe like yours truly
A few years ago, a group of my friends and I had to do a project about a problem in the world and we did it about acid rain in Africa and talked about adding limestone to rain water to make it better for drinking. Now I finally understand the chemistry!
Yeah,but strong acids don't wait for a family to come,they just break down someones doar and frow the kid in the house,while a strong base breaks into your house and steels the baby.
Hank and Crash Course team, thank you so much for making chemistry much more interesting, keeping me awake and making me feel motivated with your informative lectures, jokes and illustrations. I am grateful that someone is able to break concepts down for me so I don't fail my Chem 2 class. You never disappoint!(:
Excellent episode. But just wanted to mention that the final definition mentioned in this episode for Acids and Bases is the Bronsted-Lowry definition. The more accepted and universal definition is Lewis Acids and Bases which covers a broader part of chemistry that undergo similar reactions.
gosh I wish these videos were around last year when I took AP Chem. my teacher was totally incapable of connecting with my learning style no matter how many times I asked for help, and I came REAL close to failing. I feel like I understand everything so much better now... it makes my life so much easier...or it would have, if I was still taking chem, haha. I guess I just have to find a way to incorporate more chemistry into my life...
Andy Su Well, one paper cut is surely not gonna cut it, no pun intended. And come on, if I stay by the drawing table I'm definently gonna be safe from all that other stuff
You are incorrect at 10:42. You stated that when a base donates a proton it forms a conjugate acid. Bases do not donate protons, but rather accept them. You should have stated that when a base accepts a proton, it forms a conjugate acid. Please fix this and thanks for the great video!
Oh hey, how did you guys do? I'm doing an overnight Crash Course Chem marathon for my semester exam tomorrow. I have a different schedule that conflicts with school (leading up to my finals, I go at a different pace), and even though semester exams are internal, if I get an F tomorrow (or anything below a B, actually) my Chemistry teacher is going to seethe. So basically.. I'm doomed.
Jefferson Moordenaar Nope... never researched... I'm so frustrated with keeping up with all news and things online that it has come to a point where I need to know about literally everything and everyone regardless whether I do or don't care about them...
I love your videos. Not to sound stupid, but at times you talk so fast, it can be hard to follow your concepts. I guess that is why there is a replay button. :) Please keep making videos!
holy shit Hank Green; I've been paying attention to you for a minute, but you really seemed involved in this episode. What do we have to do to fully support you and your crew to a level as Bill Nye?
Can you guys please make a video for back titrations? Your videos always make more sense than all other RUclips tutors :) as students you are our lifeline, and we really appreciate the work and research that goes into each lesson. Thank you!!
The answer to the question in the video: Since a ton (1000kg) of coal produces 30kg of sulfur, a billion tons (1,000,000,000kg) would produce 30,000,000kg (30,000,000,000g) of sulfur. The molar mass for limestone (CaCO3) is 32.1 g/mol. 30,000,000,000 g ÷ 32.1 g/mol = 934,579,439.3 moles of sulfur. Since one mole of sulfur equals one mole of CaCO3 used, 934,579,439.3 moles of limestone is needed. The molar mass of CaCO3 is 100.1 g/mol. 934,579,439.3 mol × 100.1 g/mol = 9.36 × 10^10 g = 93,4441,401.87 kg of CaCO3 93.4 million kilograms (94 thousand tons) of limestone would be used. (sorry I didn't count the significant digits in my calculations. Pls correct me if I had a mistake. Also, after reading this, you may as well guess my age.)
Thanks, I was looking for this comment. Intelligence is a poor thing to judge age based on, but based on the fact that you're asking I would hazard a guess at around 15. Also; what no Stoichiometetric equation?!? Just kidding. ^_^
Be careful with the powers of 10 when converting tons to kilogramms. A billion tons = 1,000,000,000 tons = 1,000,000,000,000 kg = 1,000,000,000,000,000 g (1000^5 or 10^15 grams), so 30,000,000 kg of sulfur that you calculated would be the amount produced by a million tons of coal. For a billion tons of coal approximately 93.6 billion kilograms (96 million tons) of limestone would be needed
What a great Crash Course! I have wanted to see something like this for a very long time. I knew I was really interested in chemistry, but not all the details, and found it very hard to find any really great educational shows about it. Hank presents it better than I could have hoped for: it's fun to learn the material. Hank and John are my new heroes - seriously. This material and others like it to follow can completely democratize education. May everyone find out about it.
gah. damn it, I don't know if it's me or what.But i think he's speaking too fast I love this channel and everything but...Gaaah. Gaaaah. I hope I can understand this soon.Exams are coming up.Damn it.
+Yoshioka Futaba Yes, you can lower or increase speed on almost any computer or laptop. I actually watch this at 1.7x faster than normal, but if 1.0 is too fast for you, you can try 0.7x or even 0.5x. If you don't see the option on RUclips automatically, try an excellent Chrome extension called Video Speed Contoller.
Go Brown! As suggested by one of the best TV hosts ever, Mike Rowe. Cleanish coal is better than no coal. You can't just shut off all the coal plants in the US like a light switch. You have to phase them out slowly while other energy sources are put in place. Going green isn't always an option, but you almost always start by going brown.
when you eat or drink something acidic your mouth secretes saliva in an attempt to neutralize the acid and prevent it doing harm - so it makes perfect sense.
It does make sense that *he* would salivate, but I salivated just from watching it. I know it happens, one salivates just from looking at food sometimes, but there's probably some cool psychology in there somewhere.
I'd say it's simple empathy (the natural human ability to imagine one's self doing something another is doing). It is so natural that sometimes it's easy to forget how incredible it really is - to cause a physical reaction in your body in response to seeing Hank eat a lemon (over a year ago and presumably a great distance away) in this case!
James Atha Bro I know that happens to me whenever I see someone eat a lemon or even just thinking lemon or typing lemon. I have a sour mouth as I am writing this
I got 320679320.679. Here's my process: 1) Find 3% of 1 billion, which is 30,000,000. 2) Find the amount of grams in 30,000,000 kilograms, which is 30,000,000,000. 3) Find the amount of sulfuric moles in 30,000,000,000 grams , which is 963,000,000,000. 4) Find how much Calcium Carbonate this translates to, as Calcium carbonate has a molar mass of 100.1, ANS = 9620379620.38 grams. 5) Reduce this number back to kilograms, which ends up being a tidy 9620379.62038 kilograms, or about 9620 metric tons.
Your method is correct but you made a mistake on step 1. Find 3% of 1 billion TONNES, not 1 billion. 1 billion tonnes = 10^15g 3% of 10^15g = 3x10^13g Number of S moles in 3x10^13g = 9.36x10^11 moles (might have different answer in this step depending one what value you have for sulfur's relative atomic mass). CaCO3 molar mass = 100.1g (100.1) x (9.36x10^11) = 9.37x10^10kg Convert kg to tonnes (divide by 1000) ~ 9.37x10^7 tonnes of limestone. But yeah otherwise well done. Just remember to check your SI units. :)
+Tom Ricketts Actually, your method of rounding may be flawed. As sulphur has an atomic mass of 32,065 or a molar mass of 32,065 moles, you get the value of there being 9,35453696*10^11 moles. As 4 is a smaller number than 4, the correct manner of approximation would be to round downwards to n(S)=9,35*10^11 mol.

There used to be a DJ called DJ Titrate. He always loved to drop the base (into acids).

You must have some shitty teachers? You were probably just zoning out in class.
Now, every time I drop soap in the shower, I am going to that I "dropped the base".
Shame on you.

RFM for Sulphur = 32.065 g
RFM for CaCo3 = 100.09 g
RFM for CaSo3 = 120.17 g
Good luck to all!

gosh I wish these videos were around last year when I took AP Chem. my teacher was totally incapable of connecting with my learning style no matter how many times I asked for help, and I came REAL close to failing. I feel like I understand everything so much better now... it makes my life so much easier...or it would have, if I was still taking chem, haha. I guess I just have to find a way to incorporate more chemistry into my life...
Dear Mr. Hank Green, you are a legend. Thank you for this video!!
Yeah, I think I'm gonna stick to studying physics and math, seems like I'm at lower chance of, well, dying if I choose that instead
You might bleed to death in math due to a paper cut or die in a physical moment(ex:rockets and carcrashes) in physics.

I noticed that too.
Umm if you paid attention earlier at 4:02 he literally said that a base accepts a proton. So calm down.

Just look up on Joel's Twitter feuds and you would know.
I really respect this channel and those who works for it
The equation at 6:58 is unbalanced. put a 2 in front of SO_2 and H_2O
oh the metric/SI units... feels so good...
The sulfur acid equation at 06:57 is not balanced:
02 + SO2 + H20 -> 2H2SO4
[BALANCES AT]
O2 + 2H20 + 2SO2 -> 2H2SO4
Thanks. Wondered why my kg of CaCO3 was double of his value.
I noticed that as well, but just thought I was stupid and missed something so I re watched the video 😂😂
THANK YOU. After I watch this a couple more times I'm confident I will finally understand protonation. Maybe.
Once again crash course teaches me more than 12 years of school in a 10 minute video filled with humour and practical examples :) Thanks guys
I love your videos. Not to sound stupid, but at times you talk so fast, it can be hard to follow your concepts. I guess that is why there is a replay button. :) Please keep making videos!

Honestly, Crash Course is the only reason why I haven't failed my college-level General Chemistry class xD
Using this to revise acids and bases is way more fun that any other revision I've done

About 93,551.4 tons of limestone needed- 9:50
this channel make me love chemistry and physics...
yep me too
The answer to the question in the video:
Since a ton (1000kg) of coal produces 30kg of sulfur, a billion tons (1,000,000,000kg) would produce 30,000,000kg (30,000,000,000g) of sulfur.
The molar mass for limestone (CaCO3) is 32.1 g/mol.
30,000,000,000 g ÷ 32.1 g/mol = 934,579,439.3 moles of sulfur.
Since one mole of sulfur equals one mole of CaCO3 used, 934,579,439.3 moles of limestone is needed.
The molar mass of CaCO3 is 100.1 g/mol.
934,579,439.3 mol × 100.1 g/mol = 9.36 × 10^10 g = 93,4441,401.87 kg of CaCO3
93.4 million kilograms (94 thousand tons) of limestone would be used.
(sorry I didn't count the significant digits in my calculations. Pls correct me if I had a mistake. Also, after reading this, you may as well guess my age.)
Thanks, I was looking for this comment.
Intelligence is a poor thing to judge age based on, but based on the fact that you're asking I would hazard a guess at around 15.
Also; what no Stoichiometetric equation?!?
Just kidding. ^_^
Be careful with the powers of 10 when converting tons to kilogramms. A billion tons = 1,000,000,000 tons = 1,000,000,000,000 kg = 1,000,000,000,000,000 g (1000^5 or 10^15 grams), so 30,000,000 kg of sulfur that you calculated would be the amount produced by a million tons of coal. For a billion tons of coal approximately 93.6 billion kilograms (96 million tons) of limestone would be needed
Reawaken :3 The molar mass for limestone is not 32.1g/mol... it's about 100.1 g/mol. Won't that change the final answer?
Sean Crockett wait nevermind that's a typo on your part, you probably meant to say sulfur instead of limestone
Reawaken :3 dude you rock ahah
I think i am really sticking to chemistry after listening the above video.Thank you,as in
India ,teachers are not worth enough
why forget all I know about acids and bases? this is exactly what i know about this topic, that's what school teaches
The music bit was pretty well done.
9.36 x 10^7 metric tonnes of CaCO3
Dear Hank Green,
Thank you so much for saving my university chemistry grade from impending doom.
world's best youtube education provider
This episode is one of the best produced episodes I've seen
Whoever is reading this, I just want to say, have fun with your life and enjoy it as long as you live
rocke boy be careful, because Chemistry causes death.
you just cured my depression from cramming too much
I appreciate that...really, and you do the same.
Good video, except there was one error, At 10:43, it's supposed to be when a base accepts a proton it becomes a conjugate acid.
1:28 LMFAO that extreme close up of Captain John Mullan's face cracked me up. Hank, as always, thanks for being awesome.
Crash course smoothed out biology; now it's pulling me through chem. Thanks guys! These videos are freakin awesome!
Excellent subtle reference to arrested development. Your work is appreciated.
For myself and others who need to revise important concepts:
3:58
Hank: ”chemist die younger than the average person”
also Hank: A small price to pay for salvation
loved the hendrix reference
YOU ARE WHAT IS KEEPING ME FROM FAILING MY CHEMISTRY EXAM!
THANK YOUUUU
Thanks, Hank! We love your show. I homeschool my kids and we have so much fun watching your videos as a supplement to our curriculum.
Anyone else catch George and Lucille at 5:34?
About 93,551.4 tons of limestone would be needed.
Please show work..
Nope, it's 94 million ton of limestone per billion ton of coal.
This is approx.
@@807pranavghandade8 Damn
94.5 million tons taking sig figs into account.
Hank, could you please put up IGCSE level sciences for us GCSE students?
especially when its finals week oh my god
What a great Crash Course! I have wanted to see something like this for a very long time. I knew I was really interested in chemistry, but not all the details, and found it very hard to find any really great educational shows about it. Hank presents it better than I could have hoped for: it's fun to learn the material. Hank and John are my new heroes - seriously. This material and others like it to follow can completely democratize education. May everyone find out about it.
5:16 on the right hand side...
Thank you so much for this video!!! CrashCourse has saved me on soooo many tests...
gah. damn it, I don't know if it's me or what.But i think he's speaking too fast I love this channel and everything but...Gaaah. Gaaaah. I hope I can understand this soon.Exams are coming up.Damn it.
You can lower the speed if you are on desktop
oh. okay ill try that out. gee, thanks!
+Yoshioka Futaba did you try captions?
+Yoshioka Futaba Yes, you can lower or increase speed on almost any computer or laptop. I actually watch this at 1.7x faster than normal, but if 1.0 is too fast for you, you can try 0.7x or even 0.5x. If you don't see the option on RUclips automatically, try an excellent Chrome extension called Video Speed Contoller.
You are a dosshbag
am i the only one not watching this for a test?
I am as well! I find this fascinating.
im watching it for a projects does that count?
Prez Taco well, it isnt for your enjoyment.
hah, never :P
I graduated years ago . I just like watching crash course.
Go Brown! As suggested by one of the best TV hosts ever, Mike Rowe. Cleanish coal is better than no coal. You can't just shut off all the coal plants in the US like a light switch. You have to phase them out slowly while other energy sources are put in place. Going green isn't always an option, but you almost always start by going brown.
Going "green", haha. But yes I agree with you.
5:33 Really appreciate the Arrested Development reference. Also, these videos help immensely.
Amazingly unbiased, helpful and informative ! I'm subscribing.
Love the video, but you didn't talk about the Lewis theory of acids and bases!
He he did
this channel needs a math playlist.
True
Can we PLEASE have Crash Course Math and Language Arts?
+Geometry Dash DarkBlocks ever heard of Khan Academy for math? also, what do u mean by Language arts? (schools no longer use that term)
im here binge reviewing for my teas test tomorrow.. yay
Hank at 3:24
CANT STOP LAUGhing!! This guy is legit!! Superrrrr
NO wonder I like this guy... from my home state
When you ate that lemon slice I salivated. Just though that was interesting.
when you eat or drink something acidic your mouth secretes saliva in an attempt to neutralize the acid and prevent it doing harm - so it makes perfect sense.
It does make sense that *he* would salivate, but I salivated just from watching it. I know it happens, one salivates just from looking at food sometimes, but there's probably some cool psychology in there somewhere.
I'd say it's simple empathy (the natural human ability to imagine one's self doing something another is doing).
It is so natural that sometimes it's easy to forget how incredible it really is - to cause a physical reaction in your body in response to seeing Hank eat a lemon (over a year ago and presumably a great distance away) in this case!
James Atha Bro I know that happens to me whenever I see someone eat a lemon or even just thinking lemon or typing lemon. I have a sour mouth as I am writing this
I got 320679320.679. Here's my process:
1) Find 3% of 1 billion, which is 30,000,000.
2) Find the amount of grams in 30,000,000 kilograms, which is 30,000,000,000.
3) Find the amount of sulfuric moles in 30,000,000,000 grams , which is 963,000,000,000.
4) Find how much Calcium Carbonate this translates to, as Calcium carbonate has a molar mass of 100.1, ANS = 9620379620.38 grams.
5) Reduce this number back to kilograms, which ends up being a tidy 9620379.62038 kilograms, or about 9620 metric tons.
Your method is correct but you made a mistake on step 1.
Find 3% of 1 billion TONNES, not 1 billion. 1 billion tonnes = 10^15g
3% of 10^15g = 3x10^13g
Number of S moles in 3x10^13g = 9.36x10^11 moles (might have different answer in this step depending one what value you have for sulfur's relative atomic mass).
CaCO3 molar mass = 100.1g
(100.1) x (9.36x10^11) = 9.37x10^10kg
Convert kg to tonnes (divide by 1000)
~ 9.37x10^7 tonnes of limestone.
But yeah otherwise well done. Just remember to check your SI units. :)
God dammit the units strike again. Shoulda listened to Mrs. Brown when she said to keep the units written.
+Tom Ricketts Actually, your method of rounding may be flawed. As sulphur has an atomic mass of 32,065 or a molar mass of 32,065 moles, you get the value of there being 9,35453696*10^11 moles. As 4 is a smaller number than 4, the correct manner of approximation would be to round downwards to n(S)=9,35*10^11 mol.
ZewdPlays
you broke my brain
I love the graphic for conjugal! Absolutely fantastic!
wow the day before my chem final and i get a great boost of confidence in my ability to pass the class thanks man
lol i was waiting for him to bite the soap, too xd
Its the anti-acid BASEically
HOW IN THE WORLD DID HE KNOW HW MY CHEMISTRY CLASS/ LIFE HAS BEEN?!?!?!??!?!
This has actually been helping me a lot.
My great uncle was a chemist and half of his face LITERALLY MELTED!!
FINALS TODAY STUDYING CRASH COURSE :D

"So, forget everything you ever learned about acids, wipe the slate clean, the most common acid on earth is water. Wuh? And water is also the most common base, and am I saying this purely to confuse you? Yes!" - Hank
Aww...Thanks, Hank.
you're amazing dude
I'm quite weak in chemistry in terms of understanding stuff so his video has heaped me quite a lot thnx!
