  • After watching this video you will no longer be in hot water when doing calorimetry questions. This video not only explains how to do calorimetry problems but it also explains what calorimetry even is! Finally, you can stop memorizing and truly understand the concept with helpful visual examples.

    💁‍♀️ HI I'M MELISSA MARIBEL
    I help students pass Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. I used to struggle with this subject, so when I finally graduated with a bachelor's degree in Chemistry, I became a tutor so that you wouldn't have to struggle like I did. I know that with the right help, YOU CAN LEARN ANYTHING!

    Melissa, you are a saint. You have not only helped me better understand Chemistry and its concepts, but you have helped me gain a newfound confidence as well. Nearly a decade of Depression took a huge toll on my academics. I went from a straight A student who excelled in science to nearly failing all of my classes including science. Attending college as a Chem major was nerve-wracking, but thanks to the help of your videos (and treatment!) I am back to straight A’s and am thriving!! So thank you, Melissa. We all appreciate everything you do. :)

    Hi there, can I ask why you put a negative sign on the side of the water? It seems that the metal should have a negative sign since the heat is flowing from hot to cold. (Negative sign indicating that exothermic process happened) Can you clarify this?

  • @brenda.rodriguez2003
    @brenda.rodriguez2003 2 года назад

  • @soykillerqueen
    @soykillerqueen 4 года назад

    Excuse my ignorance, but isn't the negative sign in - q water = q metal supposed to be switched or does it not matter? My chem lab book has the negative sign in front of q metal.
    edit: I think it may have to do something about the order because the equation in my book goes like this: + q water = - q metal

      I think the mistake I see in your calculation is that you wrote -35.218 instead of -35.2108 before adding (after transposing) it to 1Tf. 36.2108 is 1 plus 35.2108, not 1 plus 35.218 (that would 36.218 instead).
      Other than that, thank you for this video. I have to admit, the first few times I had to deal with the formula were a struggle. I now understand how to solve with the formula thanks to this.

    (Answer: 0.237 J/ g °C)
    csilver = 0.240 J / g °C
    If there is a question like this, why do i need to find the value of the heat capacity when silver's heat capacity is shown and given.....I mean the heat capacity is the amount of heat that can hold in a substance and when the temperature exceed the amount of heat that substance can hold, the temperature rise up by one degree and mass..but how come the heat capcity change when the temperature increase? idk......i have no idea plz share some opinion or answer.....e

      @@melissamaribel I'm confused on how you went from Tf - 45.8 = -35.218Tf + 542.24632 to the next step. I am confused on the exact math. I tried it over and over again and I got random numbers.

      @@lexlovesmovies There was typo that I mentioned in the comments at this part, At 5:07 it's supposed to be 36.218 Tf instead of 36.2108 Tf. That could be part of the confusion.

    I find it funny how many of these youtube videos you're able to watch for FREE are able to help you learn better than the university and profs you PAY to teach you :/

    chemistry is the most ridiculous science. I feel that its only purpose is making things more complicated than they are. Anybody can learn it, it is just that they love making things more complicated.
