As it is now 1:30 AM, I have a chemistry final exam in about six hours. Thank you, Hank, for being a fantastic teacher. However, redox makes me feel rather ill... For most of the video I was like, "Okay, yeah, that makes total sense! I can DO this!" and then chemistry decided to do what chemistry does and become exponentially more difficult just when you think you've solved it.
+AG Laconic , i think We don't have enough time on school, it takes time and concentration to teach and learn like that :") they want their student discover "Why ?" as a homework, and sometimes it's not easy because they often play games instead of doing homework at home. But i hope teacher in the future can change that issue.
+AG Laconic at degree level,we just have to memorise the stuff and parrot it back on exam test,only when you are doing your master degree and Ph.D.,we will learn why things happen.That's what my lecturer always said to me when I came to ask the question.
Most authority figures say that. They hate it when I ask why because they, themselves, don't know. Try asking yourself, instead! You're bound to get a better answer if you look.
Hank noooo you're making the same mistake that my math teacher makes. When you say chemical equations, please write them down or have them floating in the air above your head or have them somewhere that we can see! If you say "ammonia plus acetylaldehyde forms blah blah" it makes perfect sense in your brain, but it's difficult for me to focus on and understand the components of the equation unless I can see them. Please keep the equation visible as much as possible! It would help a lot!
you can also think of reduction as the reduction of CHARGE that occurs when an atom gains electrons. When an atom starts with a charge of 0 but gains an electron, its overall charge is REDUCED to -1
I'd just like to thank John and Hank Green for making these amazing Crash Course videos that have taught me so much about the way the world works. I'm 15, and I love to learn, but unfortunately my teachers don't think I'm smart enough to take chemistry until I'm a senior. I love school. I love learning. I love writing. I'm introverted and a geek. I hope to someday be a Therapist or a writer. I just want to thanks thank you so much for making these videos. :) It means a lot to me.
crash course videos are the only youtube videos that I can watch for longer than 10 minutes without clicking on another video or leaving or get extremely bored
check out periodic table of videos.....they have all the elements with examples of reactions taught by an awesome russian/british professor whos super laid back and knows his stuff inside out, Very sweet. and Sixty Symbols is their physics channel
Funny story about redox reactions. Did you know that combining Hydrocloric acid and CuSO4 makes chlorine gas? Did you also know that accidentally creating chlorine gas on your first day of grade 11 chemistry puts you on your teacher's watch list for the rest of the semester? I didn't know that before, but I sure do now.
Having been completely confused in class about this and doing some desperate research at home (no one in my class could help because none of them understood it either) this video (having to break it down, of course) actually made me grin when I managed my first complicated equation! Thank you so much!!!!
Yes if a classroom teacher taught like this it wouldn't be good but it's RUclips. You have all the information in a concise video that you can pause to think, rewind if you don't understand and even watch a few times if you need to. You won't understand this by watching through it once unless you already get most of it, but it is possible to learn this without any background information, he tells you everything you need. The reason there's lots of information is because it's a complicated subject. If you can't put the effort in to really think about it and understand it, then yes this video isn't going to be helpful
why do you guys all have to be such assholes i mean, come on, some people learn better when they are shown how to do every step and then are able to logically understand why each and every step happens. However, some ignorant, self-absorbed people such as yourself, find it a paramount life goal to make other people feel stupid for having a difficult time filling in the blanks in difficult concepts like the one discussed in this video.
+Wulframm Rolf Only because somebody arbitrarily decided that Electrons would be negative and protons positive. So I guess it works out by complete chance.
If I'm following what you are saying, the slide Reduction Half Reaction at 9:36 should show the +1 above the Ag in the compound rather than above the Ag on the product side of the reaction, where it is elemental and has an oxidation # of zero. Love your work.
I'm 17 years old and life in the Netherlands, I learned so mutch from this video. I realy want to thank you guys for your video's. Keep up the good work!
I know you may not know as much english or they could be typos, but please go through your comment and try to improve ! Always good to learn from mistakes! Really sweet comment though.
Quick note: whenever you (yes you) hear about redox, know that reduction and oxidation is occurring (as the name says 'Red' for reduction and 'Ox' for oxidation). When you finish a redox equation, if an element or molecules redox value is going down from the reactant to product side, it is being reduced (but remember scientists are odd which means it's gaining electrons) and when it's redox value is going up, it's being oxidised (meaning that it's lost electrons)! I hope this helps.
It's very frightening that I did not realize this video was released in 2013 after seeing the first animation of our current President... It gives me chills
I used to watch this in high school chemistry (because my teacher didn't write any lesson plans). 8 years later, watching this because chemistry is mega important. Thank you CrashCourse
First one I've watched that I felt like I really didn't follow what happened and I'm not so sure I would even with watching it a second time. But I"m sure this would be an awesome refresher for someone who had already learned this before.
Thanks Hank! Love your videos. You've saved me many times. To everyone else complaining about his speed: There is a LOT to understand here. If you need to 'get it', then pause the video, analyze the curriculum and do the work. That's the only way you'll get good at something.
For 3 years I havent studied or listened in chemistry. All i do is watch these videos the night before and ive never got anything lower than an A-. Wish my teachers actually knew science like you and didnt respond to questions with "its very complicated" or "its just the way it is".
With 10.5 hours to study for a Chem 2 final after Zoology and Biostats today, Crash Course is the best thing in the world! He's got all the stuff from Chem 1 I forgot explained in a memorable way for visual learners.
To all those people who think he is talking too fast. It is a RUclips video! You have the freedom to pause it for time to think, rewind it if you don't get something, or watch it again and again if you have to. Hank is trying to cover a lot of material in one video hence the name "crashcourse". I really appreciate Hank putting it into a short concise video and if you don't get it you can always watch it again!
It's not too "fast" it's designed to be rewind and re-watched as you need to. My notes from this video: History of "Reduce" comes from metals being heated-smelted and they got lighter: "reduced". O2 was leaving the metals making them lighter. Today we think about it as electron transfer. O2 is the best oxidizer, pulls electrons off other things "electronation and de-electronaiton" is maybe worse than "redox" oil-rig = oil oxidation is loss of electrons rig reduction is gain of electrons When your cells convert sugars into energy, for thinking and movement, that's redox. Plants doing photosynthesis, that's redoc. Batteries, is redox, fire is redox Modern chemistry keeps track of the electrons. The movement of electrons is the "currency" of chemistry, especially redo0x, who is ahead in electrons, who is behind or losing electrons. Forming of compound molecules is like a marriage. When the bonds on a compound break, who gets the electrons is of interest.
I've always had problems with Redox reactions. I still do. This is helping, I can assure you, but I'm still more than a little confused. Ah well, I'll watch it again a few times and the answers will shake out. They always do.
Go over to Khan Academy and watch their videos on it. You'll get lots of examples, and it will be explained fully and you will definitely understand it after watching it. Google Khan Academy, click Start and start learning for free. There's even worksheets if u really want to make sure you understand it.
My graduate level professor linked us to this video for class. the course is intro to environmental systems and the professor knows most of us have not had chem in forever. great video.
You can explain something in 10min something which needs usually a lot of time. I understood thermodynamic laws thanks to you. Which I haven't got for years.
Hi CrashCourse team: I have an idea. I've been following your videos for the past year or so and it's changed my perpective on how i viewed my high school years. I wish I had the focus that I have now, unfortunately those years are way behind me. Thinking back on my lack of focus, I feel like much of it was due to the fact that I had no way of relating the information in chemistry, physics and pre calculus to what i thought would be real life after high school. Having much more experience now
I would love if there was a possible specific crash course chemistry made where it slows it down and goes more in depth. I lost you after oxidation numbers/states and rules. But that mostly because I'm trying to remember undergrad chemistry from 5 years ago now. Love this series so much.
How many people here are rushing for a basic lesson before their exam haha because I am and honestly this video is not as helpful as I hoped it would be :( which I understand because he's just trying to make the topic interesting with fun facts when what I actually need is a actual school lesson... instead of surfing around the Internet
There is an error at 7:49: They write N2 + 3e- = 2NH3, it is not balanced as there are no H on the left, there are 3 negative charges on the left and no charges on the right and there are 2N gaining each 3e- so in total N2 is gaining 6e-, The correct half-equation is N2 + 6e- + 6H+ ---> 2NH3. Also the second half equation at 7:55 is wrong: the correct one is: 3H2 --> 6H+ + 6e-. Adding their two half reactions: N2 + 3e- = 2NH3 and 3H2 --> 2NH3 + 3e- would give me an overall reaction: N2 + 3H2 --> 4NH3 which is wrong.
Yur, TOTALLY awesome. Do NOT slow down. Let the molasses brain stop the vid as many times as he needs. The rest of us find you to be a breath of fresh air, getting to the point long BEFORE we can even think of falling asleep. Breath of FRESH AIR man. U rock. SUBSCRIBED!! :))
Here’s a good way of remembering why reduction is called “reduction”. Electrons are negatively charged, so a “gain” in electron caused a “reduction” in charge. Like if Sodium cation (+1) charge recieves an electron, it become Na(0 charge), so it’s charge reduces
To anyone complaining that the talking's too fast, remember that it is just a crash course, and since this is a video, we're welcome to rewind to whenever we want to be. In a typical CrashCourse video, I rewind around 30-40 times within the whole vid just to make sure that I absorb what he wants to say. You are not expected to get all of the lessons from the video in one sitting. Have patience, guys!
Graig Simmonette- If you think people who knew Trump actually liked him until he ran, you weren't paying attention. Saying he's not significantly different from other presidents is insanely naive.
I agree with people who believe that Hank is speaking too quickly in his videos, therefore making it hard to grasp information (especially if you're LEARNING the material, instead of revising it). This problem can be solved by clicking at the end of the link of the video and manually typing in 'slow' (it works for me). Anyhow, I am still grateful that CC had made these videos easily accessible and available for free. Thank you CrashCourse!
Watching these to pass time and gain knowledge of chemistry. I don't ever plan on being a chemist so I get a bit glossy eyed when he starts doing the math part of it. I don't envy anyone trying to learn how to calculate these reactions by watching this video.
Come on, he said it right there, its 3rd grade algebra. Nothing like trying to apply multivariable vector calculus to non-euclidean relativistic space like what we all did in 6th grade, right? :P
I pay attention, and I watch it a few times, but damn i can't get a hang of it. However, this isn't something we cover in AP Chem. Atleast if we do later on in the year, I'll be more prepared. Thanks you. :)
+Ce Sheng (Jackson Foo) You cant expect to fully understand these all in one viewing.. its like being upset that, after your first physics class, your still no Michio Kaku.

I am class 11 and it is 10pm having exam tmrw at 8am thanks i feel i understood but still fell empty thanks i understood something good than wasting
I love these videos because I can never understand what my bio 1 professor is talking about....so then I come here for when I am studying for my test!
Four days before a high school assessment, this is a life saver!!!
New goal in life: use the word portmanteau in a conversation.
0:44 "Hank is a mass of incandescent gas" 😂😂😂😂 Lmao !!!!
i always used to think chemistry wasnt that hard... but this is seriously making my brain hurt :/
I agree with people who believe that Hank is speaking too quickly in his videos, therefore making it hard to grasp information (especially if you're LEARNING the material, instead of revising it). This problem can be solved by clicking at the end of the link of the video and manually typing in 'slow' (it works for me). Anyhow, I am still grateful that CC had made these videos easily accessible and available for free. Thank you CrashCourse!
Watching these to pass time and gain knowledge of chemistry. I don't ever plan on being a chemist so I get a bit glossy eyed when he starts doing the math part of it. I don't envy anyone trying to learn how to calculate these reactions by watching this video.
At 10:04 you could see the crash course room from the reflection...
the little animations are so cute
+Aspen Summer I know right?
Ok I give up. Chemistry is just too complicated. I'm coming back to math.
It is never too complicated if you work at it at your own pace. It is just a subject you need to get familiar with :)
Yes but sometimes you can't learn it at your own pace cuz your professor thinks it hilarious to rush through it and explain very little
aaaaaand this is why I wonder why I even bothered to take summer chemistry.
Come on, he said it right there, its 3rd grade algebra. Nothing like trying to apply multivariable vector calculus to non-euclidean relativistic space like what we all did in 6th grade, right? :P
i know how you feel. i have to watch these videos several times; I'll often replay the same two minutes over and over.
CrashCourse your analogies and illustrations have htruly helped a dummy like me who couldn't have learn this stuff otherwise, seriously. Thank you. =]
wow i am new and also dont know who name is that guy but his good at math and science 😮i impressed MIND BLOWN 😮🌡🌡💣💣💣
Is the guy at 0:07 Donald Trump? If so, then I love CrashCourse even more now.
+Golam, In Brackets Yep, that's definitly Trump.
Matthew Miller Awesome! I love how they did his hair.
+Golam, In Brackets Well then you love CC even more, cos it is Trump
Lauryn Sawyer Yay!

When you balance the number of Electrons in the N2 --> 2NH3 reaction. Shouldn't there be 6e on the left side? Because 2*-3 = 6e
Right!
Yes, it actually should be 6e in each of the NH3 equations. N2 is reduced, gaining 6e, and 3 H2 is oxidized, giving off six electrons.
watching at 3am and i don't even mind (gcses in a month)
Same here lol
you are hardworking
Or you know, desperate.
yeah haha, desperate but it didn't come up
You are incredible. Thank God for you
I don't understand a lot of English, but today I've learned more with you than with my chemistry teacher in 5 months😂
Crash course is a gift for students with teachers who don't give a fuck
I pay attention, and I watch it a few times, but damn i can't get a hang of it. However, this isn't something we cover in AP Chem.
Atleast if we do later on in the year, I'll be more prepared. Thanks you. :)
Can you get silver from the silver chloride in the previous video?
+Aeroscience I'm not sure about this, but electrolysis might work.
+Aeroscience search for selective precipitation
After hearing you speak every sentence, I felt like taking a DEEP breath -- you spoke really, really fast. Good video though!
I'm so happy you made this video! I now know that a portmanteau is a large suitcase!
Well time to go take my final.
Best way to study for finals
Oxygen can have a positive charge, when it's bonded with fluorine, because this last is more electronegative.
this is the greatest thing that ever happened to me in my entire life.
Thank you so much. This is helping a lot. :) My professor teaches too fast sometimes, but at least here I can press pause.
how did i get here from watching "i want it that way" from back street boys....
Because RUclips felt that you had better things to do with your time.
Third grade algebra? Who learns algebra in third grade? When I was in grade 3 we were just learning how to multiply!
When you have a Chem final and are trying to find the easiest way to study. Thanks Hank.
This is a live saver thank you very much I have learned a lot
Never laughed so much during a video about chemistry... The whole part about the marriage really cracked me up. Thank you for the informative video!
and this is where I give up on chemistry again :(
watching this during the election and laughing at trump
me hahah
lmao
well, sorry you-from-two-weeks-ago, but in my time, we've stopped laughing and are curled up whimpering.
*****
I know, I can't believe he made it so far.
Sorry you from two days ago...
informative video but everything goes too fast
+Ce Sheng (Jackson Foo) Yeah, he sounds rushed when this kind of material takes time to process.
That's why I have to pause and let it sink in before I replay it. :)
Just watch it over and over again, write down the key notes and let it sink in.
+Ce Sheng (Jackson Foo) you can slow it down by using the setting in toolbar although it might sound weird.
+Ce Sheng (Jackson Foo) You cant expect to fully understand these all in one viewing.. its like being upset that, after your first physics class, your still no Michio Kaku.
I didn't know this channel existed.
But I've been a subscriber of SciShow for a long time now. You can imagine my reaction to seeing Hank.
Listening to Hank in the studio so I can work and study at the same time
