Thermodynamics and Energy Diagrams: Crash Course Organic Chemistry #15

In organic chemistry, different reactions can take place at vastly different speeds. To better understand whether a reaction actually will happen, and how useful that reaction is, we need to understand thermodynamics and kinetics. In this episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry, we’ll review some important concepts from general chemistry, learn how to draw energy diagrams, go over the difference between an intermediate and a transition state, and get an introduction to catalysts.

Hello! At 4:22 and 4:31, we list the units of Delta G as kJ. It's actually kJ/mol. Thanks for watching!

[MandJTV]

I don't know nor need to know anything about Organic Chemistry, I'm just here for the Haikyuu

[Syn]

ill sacrifice my life for organic chemistry just to get more haikyuu content

[sophiaa]

the fact that hinata and noya would not be able to pronounce thermodynamics just sends me

[noelle]

I love how they used Hinata and Noya even though they'd be the last people to understand thermodynamics lmao

[rms_himmel]

And that's how an entire fandom becomes experts of thermodynamics

[lynn]

me: *study in accounting*

crash course: *using haikyuu references*

also me: accounting, who?

[gyudondori]

there are only three possible reasons you clicked on this video:
1. this was recommended to you
2. you subscribed to this channel and you genuinely want to learn about thermodynamics
3. you’re a weeb that watched haikyuu and saw Nishinoya in the thumbnail

[birdfrostt]

The fact that they put two characters who usually don’t pass in their subjects in an education video—

[marythiel]

where is kuroo WHERE IS KUROO he is literally the chemistry king

[shinryouzen]

Seeing Nishinoya on the thumbnail in this channel is something I didnt expect but very welcomed

[chargedmooalt]

youtube recommendations simply said “oh you’re a weeb right? here’s one of them volleyball boys”

[jackylai]

I like the Haikyu reference, this is some good stuff right here

[V_Asher]

99% why people is here: Haikyuu
1%: that think they talking about

[janepretorius]

Kuroo is gonna riot, Hinata and Noya got to be in a chem vid before him.

[elifamasebzedenbkms]

Here's the scene:

Aha! SHOYOOOO!!

NOYA-SAAAN

*pure shortie hug*

SHOYOOO

NOYA-SAAAN

SHOYOO

NOYA-SAAAN



chuckles*

[jaeddragon]

I don't even take organic chem but I was curious how they implemented my boi Nishinoya

[erikaellsworth]

THEY HAD THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO PUT KURRO, A CHEMISTRY NERD, IN HERE

[issa]

I can’t believe Nishinoya is on the thumbnail of a freaking CRASH COURSE video, we truly live in the best timeline.

[smwnuprllyknw]

no one:
The Haikyuu Fandom: I’m a simple person, I see Noya, I click.. also next time y’all should use Kuroo as thumbnail
