Equilibrium Equations: Crash Course Chemistry #29

In which Hank shows you that, while it may seem like the Universe is messing with us, equilibrium isn't a cosmic trick. Here, he shows you how to calculate equilibrium constant & conditions of reactions and use RICE tables all with some very easy, not-so-scary math.

Pssst... we made flashcards to help you review the content in this episode! Find them on the free Crash Course App!

"Chemistry is proof that the universe is messing with us."

YES THIS EXPLAINS SO MUCH

[SaltyPenguin]

Hank has legit assisted me through high school, my bachelors and now my doctorate program. Can't even thank him enough.

[Everythingonfire]

Lmao actually started to cry watching this because of how screwed I am for my equilibrium test in two days

[TheMarilynbrauer]

My two year old always says "Hi" to the iPad when I watch these. He seems convinced that I'm face-timing with Hank Green!

I love how these videos get me amped up and ready to do homework. I was so unmotivated 10 minutes ago. Thanks.

At 7:24 one of the answers shows as 9.868, instead of 9.683 (although just a minute later they show the correct number, 0.9683), and I know that this episode has already been published for so long, but I just wanted to point it out in case anyone else got confused like I did.

Thank you so much for posting this video for me! It really helped me to better understand!

"simple and totally not scary calculations"
* intense fear *

This is the only thing keeping me alive in AP Chem.

Hank i cannot bring up the words to describe how much i love you rn. i have my chem test tmrw and do not understand this concept at all and you have explained in 5 minutes what my teacher tried to teach me in a week. Hank you are truly a man sent from the heavens. I will pray to you on your dedicated shrine everyday

[MrDylan]

I love how Hank doesn't shy away from the numbers. I get that they are super basic equations, but they are extremely useful for those of us who are still fairly new to Chemistry.

Here as proof that homeboy will get you through high school AND college chemistry.

[Joshua-nwpg]

This channel is really carrying me through school during quarantine

[Jojobinks]

Two years later and this is still accurate as hell, thank you crash course

[annikaclark]

Watching Crash Course videos all morning for chemistry is one of the perks of being a homeschooler…. Wooh.

[fordphillips]

3:41 "what you need to see is that the quotient on the right must always yield the same number be cause IT S A CONSTANT" cracks me up every time haha i love this guys videos

[shilpakaran]

Hank, you make chemistry so exciting!

[hizeeys]

Wish I found out about this before... would've helped me through the tough year. Binge watching for the AP Exam tomorrow. Helps so much.

[tinatran]

Thanks. I understand chemical equilibrium a bit better with these crash course videos.

[gattsu]

Only thing I learned from this video is that I have to wing my next test :D
