  • oh god i love you, my chemistry teacher has named me the child left behind /pfffft

    NOT ANYMORE! >:D

  • @NamiNomiCupcakeStar don't listen to teachers like that, seriously. i've got tons of videos on other stuff too, so please check out my channel. i'm so happy you find this helpful. and please let me know if you'd like to see videos on a a particular topic, or if you have questions.

  • loads of help, but wat if u have kPa

  • @Jameses213 it doesn't matter what pressure units you have, the equation works exactly the same way. HOWEVER, both P1 and P2 must have the same units!!! so they can both be kPa, or both be atm, or both mmHg, or whatever. but you CANNOT have P1 be in atm and P2 be in kPa. if both P1 and P2 aren't in the same units, you'll need to convert one so they're the same. i have a video on gas pressure conversions. does that make sense?

  • dont you have to convert atm to kPa?

    so 1atm = 101.3kPa

  • @laniipop why would you convert to kPa? as long as BOTH pressures are in the SAME units, you're fine. here, they are both in atm. we'd also be OK of they were BOTH in kPa, or mmHg, or anything else. the problem starts when they're in different units. then you would have to convert one so that they're in the same units. but it doesn't matter which pressure units you use, as long as BOTH are the same. make sense?

see all

  • thankss alooottttttt helped alooottt

  • Is anyone else reminded of Reid from Criminal Minds? :) Anyways, if only my teacher would explain it this way.... so helpful! Thank you :)

  • OMG! I WAS SO SCARED THAT I WAS GONNA FAIL THIS 9 WEEKS BECAUSE I DONT HAVE A CLUE WHAT MY TEACHER EVER SAYS! THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU MAKE IT SEEM SO SIMPLE!

  • My science teacher really likes this video and your one on Charles's law... watching this was my homework tonight! thank you so much for making it understandable... you remind me of the khan academy guy.

  • You are amazing!

    Keep it up, you have no idea of how much you have helped me pass my course:)

  • This is brilliant, Thankyou!

  • This makes so much more sense. I have a horrible teacher that has probably been doing this as long as you have been alive. Thanks for making it understandable

  • Awesome sir! Make some more videos... I would appreciate u if u make video on polar nonpolar shape
