What is chemical equilibrium? - George Zaidan and Charles Morton 

"Let's say that you've got a thousand people on the street and all of them start with their limbs normally attached" just a regular thought experiment of mine...

No matter how odd, what a great analogy for easy understanding! Great animation too!

I learned more about chemical equilibrium in a single video than I did in a whole semester of Chem.

Who thought of the idea of arms on faces?!?! LOL

Remember because this example is so ridiculous, you won't forget it fast

So what I learnt: In reversible reactions, the conversion of the products to reactants, and reactants to product occur simultaneously. Means, as one side of the equation is always reacting to become the other side, the other side as well, is always reacting to become the opposite side. These reactions occur at the same time, which we call simultaneous. To put it in a simplest example, if you have two buckets of soda and place them side by side, and make soda from the left bucket constantly go to the right bucket, likewise soda from the right bucket constantly go to the left. Therefore, the amount in each soda bucket will more or less always be at a constant ratio.

Speaking of Chemistry, I now gotta watch this video and answer questions for a worksheet as a Chemistry assignment during quarantine 0.o

Wow , I'm now studying the equilibrium in chemistry. And what a wonderful explanation you have shown.

Fantastic animation :D

That analogy had me dying

this thing's animation is one of the best so far. the soft music adds to the baby-feel quality of the animation too. great job! learned a lot!

best animation of ted that i've ever seen

EXCELLENT visual illustrations!!!

Best narration with great animation. Kudos!!!!!

The music and animation were especially good in this one.

this was really well read and animated!

That animation at 2:46... 😂😂😂😂😂 Amazing... loved the video and shared it with my friends. Thanks Ted Ed.

"Why are you hitting yourself? Why are you hitting yourself? Why are you hitting yourself?"

One of the best TEDEd videos so far :)

I wouldn't normally like anthropomorphizing something like a molecule, but the image of people with arms attached to their faces is so strong, it might really help somebody remember the lesson. I do wonder if the lesson will come along for the ride with that strange image.

Currently in pchem and had a hard time remembering equilibrium from gen chem, this video is golden

Bring in more videos like this Ted-Ed

I have been struggling to understand this concept in class. The people in a town with limbs analogy seems kinda weird at the start, but then when it all clicked I literally started laughing. 2 minutes! That's all it took for me to get the concept. The teachers should just tell me what I need to know and let me do the research myself.

I can't say I understand it all, but the animations are just great!

The word animation in this video is fantastic.

One of the best TED ED video!

I just love ted-ed animations😀😀

loved thisss. helped so much. thank youu! i love how ted ed videos will forever be relevant.

Beautiful explanation!

Why is this video so relaxing to me

This taught me so much about equilibrium

Loved this example.

Fantastic and furious explanation

really! awesome ted ed. its really helpfull for us. Thank ted ed..

Wow, TEDEd has been uploading some really good videos lately!

Thanks for explaining so nicely 😊

Best animations and explanation

I love ted ed

nice animations. easily under stood

awesome, beautiful animations

That video helped a lot I didn't know what Equilibrium mean but after that video.. Thank You So Much

ahhh... Finally a lesson worth sharing

Amazing animation!

Great work!

Wow, I really enjoyed your presentation I learned a lot.

Great animation!

Cool animation!

Aww that was sweet. Im gonna use this the next time I have to teach someone chemistry.

i love this example, i finally understand !!!!!!!

00:19 That escalated quickly...

great animation!

This is a good analogy!

superb!!!!!!!!!!!!!! easy understood

Such good animation wow

Great analogy for life as well as science.

Great video!

great video!!

Sir thays a better way to understand what & why & how is really happening & going around us... Through animations

Woah woah I'm so glad I discovered this video. Thank you so much. This helped me a lot. Thanks again.

so neat!

great video really helped

Lovely animation =]

this was really awesome thank you so much

Really useful and thanks

Good Video and nice Animations 👍🏻

Great help

I crown the person who made the analogy The Best Analogy Maker

This is one of those online videos that I understood completely

Thanks!

cool explanation

Beautiful.

i literally just learn and understood it at first try . school could never

0:15 "Molecues" XD

Really awesome was that weird little example but that made my stuff ……...That was really helpful

Nice video it help me a lot

Love it :)

my three legs are gone. i am with 2 legs just like most of people around me, maybe there is broader place to see and say hello to my three legged friends.

Wow well done

Really sooo good

What's the music used for this video? It's fantastic!

If only my chemistry teacher explained this well

Great video! ... Does any one know the name of the music?

props to the animator

Good, I'm already understand 🎉

chemistry well that explains so much thank u

Тася лучший преподаватель по химии

Thanks bruh 💝

This deserves more than view, the animation and the analogy are very well elaborated 😩

how i wasn't watching your videos before ?!

thank you for your video!! it helped me with my homework and its very interesting and understandable

Aweeesssoooommmme Made itt sooo easy brrooo Thanks a looooootttt

I wish I had a chemistry teacher like this in my highschool?

The animations and narration is so cute! Hahhaa!

Здесь была команда подготовки (2022г). ❤❤ВЕБИУМ❤❤

equilibrium is so cool

Thank god it was only his arm that got detached.

I don't know about you guys but I'm pretty sure I could use this to get a date for prom LOL

True chemists never die. They just reach equilibrium.

Great explanation! Understood everything... 🤍
