Practice Problem: Hess's Law
If we want to find out some information regarding the enthalpy change of a reaction, but we don't want to perform the reaction, we can use Hess's law, which allows us to manipulate thermochemical data for related reactions. Let's...

Practice Problem: Enthalpy of Vaporization
Can we do stoichiometry regarding phase changes? Sure! If we know how many moles of a substance we have, and the energy associated with each mole of that substance undergoing a particular phase change, we can get the energy associated...

If Our Body Temperature is 37° C, Why Do We Feel Hot When it’s 37° C Outside?
Everyone says that the ‘optimum’ body temperature is 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit). But if the temperature of your surroundings is 37 degrees Celsius, most people will start to feel warm or even hot. Why does that happen?...

Civil Vs Mechanical Engineering - How to Pick the Right Major
In this video I discuss "Civil Vs Mechanical Engineering." These two majors start off very similar in college but then become very different. Civil engineers branch off into their subfields including structural engineering, geotechnical,...

The Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics: Thermal Equilibrium
You've heard of the laws of thermodynamics, but did you know there are actually four of them? It's true, and since they already had laws one, two, and three, but then wanted to formulate another more fundamental one, the number right...

Why Is Space Cold If There Are So Many Stars?
Space is filled with countless stars, all of which radiate enormous amounts of heat. These stars are tens of thousands of times bigger than our own sun. Still, space is considered to be cold. Why is that? If there are so many hot burning...

Practice Problem: Calorimetry and Specific Heat
In calorimetry experiments we measure heat transfer. Say we take a hot piece of metal and put it in some cold water, and measure the rise in temperature of the water as the system equilibrates. Can you use this information to calculate...

The First Law of Thermodynamics: Internal Energy, Heat, and Work
In chemistry we talked about the first law of thermodynamics as being the law of conservation of energy, and that's one way of looking at it, but physicists like doing math more than chemists do, so let's talk about the first law in...
