Why Do Acids Burn?
HTML-код

- You can feel the tingle of lemon in your mouth as the acid reacts with the surrounding tissue and receptors. You've probably seen how soda can dissolve a piece of meat after a couple days. But what's so special about these substances that it can seemingly eat away material on their own?
Edit: @1:06 it says "Energy" a better word should have been "strength".

"oh hey have you met harold he's really good well he's your problem now baiiiiiiiii" got me ROFL
The single best moment of animation in all of RUclips.
Most people who understand this video is a Harold.
@@noahway13 okay buddy
Haha same
That's Harold in the drum
As a chemist myself, this video was great and funny as hell. “He’s your problem now. Byeeee” I felt that one lol
I saw a comment where dude said people aren't good representations of atoms for metaphors. Weirdo he was.
@@TheBluePhoenix008 ur pfp is cancer
@@ohnaw223 you don't even have one.
Biochemist here, i fully agree. this video is nuts and accurate as well
Was looking for this comment
"Why am I hanging out with this loser? Give me an excuse, any excuse to ditch this guy so I can hang out with those Chad protons over there" /cuts to breakdancing protons.
This is hilarious and informative. Great video and animations man.
Hey have you met Harold? He's really good well he's your problem now baiii
Who wouldn't?
I'm projecting onto Harold 😢
Wow, this is for the first time someone explains acidity in a way i can séé it. I finally have got some intuitive understanding instead of only the abstract hydrogen/proton-giving/taking(-kinda-force?) explaination.
I must say, this explaination (&this whole channel!) is great&correct, helpfull and needed!
So thanks for making this videolesson so nice&clear!!
Ikr, i always write "acids are proton donors" in my past papers without understanding it... I just write it there.
Until I saw this I had trouble understanding hydrolysis in my anatomy class and he explained it in an off hand comment.
Totally man same here.
Who knew electrons were so adorable?
I will write the same comment in all your uploads: you are a genius when it comes to explaining things using analogies and making graphics out of those analogies. This channel and this creator is the best thing to happen to RUclips lately
i like how he actually explains it down to the atom and the rules they operate on. most people will just stop at molecules or even just leave it abstract.
I highly agree I owe my 40% understanding of general relativity to him
Me: Wow this is really informative and easier to understand than school!
"So if you had to dispose of a body..."
Me: And practical for life too!
A WHAT ! ?👀
Your teacher must improve his explanations then! Maybe you could tell him that this explanation isn't working I bet he'd be happy to!
@@randomshittutorials Thankfully I'm no longer in school
@@Irreverent_Radiation Oh xD

4:17 “… can force almost anyone to take their hydrogens.” When I got to this part I nearly spit out my beer.
This is really well written
I can’t like this noooo
Loll
3:25 I couldn't stop laughing for a minute there, that was too funny.
3:53 is what got me
Was it? I didn't think it was that funny
@@3dpyromaniac560 "ohheyhaveyoumetharoldwellhesyourproblemnow byeee"
@@rottenapple_ ok well good for you I guess
this honestly clarified so much for me whether is be biology or chemistry. I'm in ninth grade taking honors biology and this guy explained all the topics in this videos miles better than any teacher i've ever had.
As a computational Chemist working with all-atom molecular dynamics simulations of biomolecules, I totally felt you when I read the "this took forever to render" bit lol
Love the clarity and the way it was explained! Wish I had seen this video when I was in chemistry class back in high school!
5:20 That animation for resonance is amazing.
I've asked professors if this was more or less what was going on and they were usually all stiff and like "no why would you say stupid things. It's just resonance. Resonance is this. There's no vibration or this or that."
Like I get that it's more complicated than this with stuff like superposition, but I later discovered I had more or less the right idea and that the professors just didn't have great intuition for the subject material, but more of rote memorization knowledge about it. It was the same with electron orbital shapes simply being spherical harmonics: Basically standing waves you can make on a sphere-shaped drum.
Or tipping vs slipping in statics. We learned about tipping vs slipping and the professor said the only way to determine if something is tipping or slipping is to calculate one and see if it works. Then calculate the other. I created a formula to unify the two and he was having NONE OF IT.
I swear we need more professors who actually USE what they teach and not just parrot textbooks.
Right? Same problem here! I need concepts not memorization!
Teaching materials are getting better over the years, and rapidly these days with computer technology. It is not uncommon that the students actually understand the material much better than the teacher does. In fact, a lot of people learn the subject better by browsing RUclips videos than they ever would have by taking college classes. It's similar to how gamers who have played Kerbal Space Program usually understand orbital dynamics way better than NASA engineers who haven't played it. It's all intuitive, if taught right. And the younger you have it taught right, and the less you have it taught wrong, the better you understand it. The better you understand it, the more interested you are to learn more and the better you retain it and apply it to life.
@Matteo Tironi I don’t think so. What you’re speaking is purely theoretical so you shouldn’t state as fact but rather a hypothesis. The same as this concept is also theoretical.
@Matteo Tironi the theory of hybridization and and valence bonds are literally theories. You’re being really extra here man.
@Matteo Tironi your pompous arrogance is what’s gross.
According to my understanding bond lengths can be experimentally measured through a couple of methods. In simpler terms through the use of light waves. However, all of these are calculated lengths. So in the same sense this is still at its primitive stage of measurement so I still stand by what I said. I understand what a hypothesis and most of chemistry is still at the experimental stage since it’s still so new. I can handle my chemistry just fine, I don’t need to arrogantly sound of in a basic video explaining concepts rather than the small details.
This is just gold. I’m gonna ask my chem teacher to show this to the class
This is the best chemistry video I’ve ever seen in my life
“Those CHAD protons over there!”
Keep making videos dude. You have a real talent for teaching. Thanks and keep it up
Man, i got say: I watched just 2 minutes and this is the best video about chemistry I've seen.
You're really great at explaining this stuff. The visuals are incredibly helpful as well!
I commented this under another video from you, but I have to say it again: I have NEVER seen someone explainging these topics sooooo good as you, RESPECT man!
This video deserves a million views, the animation is indie feeling but very comfortable. It feels like the creepy side of 3D animation without the attempt to make it creepy which makes us really awesome cause it’s an informative video.
I see lots of potential for your channel, it will definitely grow to something huge, amazing work and beautiful explanation.
Your videos have changed my whole view on life. I found your channel about a week ago, and after only watching a handful of your videos....i am absolutely blown away. Thank you. Thank you for taking the time to explain and animate these concepts in a way that really encourages deeper understanding.
Im in Uni right now, taking molecular biology and chem, with O chem in my near future, and im constantly confused by the complex ideas shown to me. It can be really hard to want to keep going, to force understanding, and to remember why i started in the first place.
You have genuinely saved my love for science. I have gained a MUCH deeper understanding of what i am learning by watching your videos.
Just....Thank you so much.
I love your videos man they're super fun and informative and you break it down in such an understandable way
I'm getting on in years but it's true what they say, "you learn something every day"!
Thanks brother x
Wow, this video and channel have exceeded my expectations by a long shot! Great video, I love the detailed (and funny) animations and the fantastic care put into it. Subscribed!
I FINALLY understand how acids work. I've seen so many videos about, but none of them have presented it in such a simple way.
Honestly, your videos remind me of those old 1930s educational videos, just with better visuals. Which is a good thing, IMO.
Absolutely amazing way of describing the chemistry of acids/bases. Visuals and metaphors were stellar as well, thank you for this masterpiece
This dude just taught me more then i was expecting and did it in a fun way
This is one of if not the best RUclips Channel, Ive gotten to understand certain topics intuitively which I would never would've been able to understand without this chanel. Thank you for doing such a great service to the science community
One of the best explanation videos I've ever seen. Fantastic job.
the simple way that youve explained it with examples and metaphors are both funny and easy to learn, keep up the hard work!
THIS IS SIMPLY THE BEST CHEMISTRY VIDEO IVE EVER WATCHED THANK YOU
The animations were both amazing and hilarious. Great job
chemistry is fascinating - we I had the energy to learn am understand it
This was a hilarious demo, one of the best ways I've seen acids explained XD
A very very very good explanation and this is very easy for all curious students.
Hope this channel makes similar interesting videos frequently.
My brain at seeing the title:
Why do acids burn?
Because they’re made of wood?
And therefore…
… … A WITCH!
So I've been wasting time and money on litmus paper and I just need to throw in a duck to test Ph?
Hey, Did you know ! You have made learning more intuitive and logical. Wow ! Such a great explanation dude. Keep it up. This video deserves a 100 K likes.
"I won't go super chemistry on you"
Aww man but you're so good at it
so many little nuggets of info explained in a very relatable way.
that was like.. more than i've learned from my 8-th grade chemistry. Very nicely animated, very understandable, a lot easier to understand than all of that gibberish we get taught in school
As someone who taught high-school science for a few years, I loved this video. You took complex concepts and found really good analogies and your delivery was great (the explanation of proton dissociation and why the electrons seek to abandon it was hilarious).
3:52 You explained this easier to me than my teacher did xD
And it's also funny😀
I love these animations! Brilliant!
Awesome video, very well explained!
This is amazing, edit in some pauses for questions and ship it to schools
Your explanation of hydrolysis finally makes sense! It may not include water at first but the base forms water as a side product which then goes to react and break down stuff!
Awesome video! Please continue in creating these brilliant videos, immediately subscribed!
This is extremely high quality content (love your jokes, by the way)! Glad I subscribed!
Wow keep this thing going. I subscribe channels rarely and you deserve it.
THAT WAS ONE OF THE BEST EXPLANATIONS OF CHEMISTRY IVE EVER SEEN, AMAZING.
I’m really glad I found this channel although I understand a quarter of what you’re saying. Liked and subbed my good sir.
You have a very unique and intuitive way of explaining physics.
Thank you for the advice, I'll use it next time
What a great explanation of electron shells, I never quite understood it until now
Very cool and well done video. The stuff with the stability is a bit janky but then again you can't throw entropy at ppl in a 7 min video. The reason for the burns was actually new to me so even learnt something new :)
This is literally the only video that helped me understand the acids and base thankkkkkkk uuuuuuu soooooooo muchhhhhhh
Thank you for this explanation. I was searching this for about 30 minutes and found now.
Your channel is awesome!
As a 15 turning 16 years old, I thank you for this simplified explanation! It helps me to connect chapters that I am learning together in a fun way.
An amazing explanation! Thanks for the video
Thank you soooo much for doing this video, I can finally understand how acids work
I love how you explain the insanity of atoms. I wish this vid. came earlyer. My teacher was not able to teach me how it works. Thanks
LOL I can't believe I haven't seen this channel before! I'm high as f-, had fun and learned more about something I've never fully understood in school! 10/10 Liked and subscribed!
your channel is perfect!
Underrated channel
Such an underrated channel wow
This is super cool! I have always wondered why acids were… acid-y, and this does a great job explaining it. Thanks!
Bro, this is my first watched video of yours, and the level and easiness of your explanation is just perfect! 😃. Subscribing right now! 😉
incredibly educative. good job.
Explanations are on point and very easy to understand
You should honestly have so many more subs than you currently have
You'd think a chemistry teacher of all people would know to use a base to dispose of a body.
Those are some really clean animations
Great video and so well explained! It's amazing that when we look at things in the microscopic level, it's just protons/electrons just being moved around, "breaking" the foundations of something and we experience this as trauma or worse. It's also fascinating to see how poisoning works, it looks so violent (take cyanide poisoning for example) and it basically just prevents electron transport. Just tiny things simply interacting and following the laws of physics but we experience destruction.
Just found you on reddit, this is my first video. Dude super awesome job! Love the animations, super informative like I actually learned something, you explain it in a very fun and easy to understand way and that's saying alot considering it's chem. But just subscribed keep doing your thing, it's great content.
Wow, I'm amazed by the animations
nothing but support for this guy
thank you for rendering Actin
Dude where were you when I was in chem 1? This made way more since then my class.
Awesome channel. Glad I found this
Just perfect!
Thank you for this.
This is an amazing video. Informative, funny, BB reference and Useful tips to dispose off a body. Damn +1
Excellently done. You sir, have earned the trifecta, A like, A sub and a comment.
This explains it better than any of my middle and highschool teaches did.
If I ever go through with being a teacher I need to remember this channel
I love how humorous yet humourous this is
This was an excellent and amusing explanation
That was a nice educational and entertaining video, this is how I imagine education in the future instead of schools.
learned more about chemistry and the like from this single 10 minute video than 12 years of public school. thank you for finally helping me to understand some chemistry stuff :)
This is so informative, beautiful and funny video. Keep doing more
These animations are top notch
I love this channel
The animation in this is top quality!!!!
Really good explanation.
Nice one. Very informative thank you.
This video is brilliant
So much analogy so beautifully explained
Cool video, if you could do one to explain what dissolving is on a chemical/molecular physical level, that'd be sweet.
Every once in while, a YT channel will come up that explains things the way it should be; with sense
