Today's Crash Course Chemistry takes a historical perspective on the creation of the science, which didn't really exist until a super-smart, super-wealthy Frenchman put the puzzle pieces together - Hank tells the story of how we went from alchemists to chemists, who understood the law of conservation of mass as proposed by a decapitated aristocrat, and explains how we came to have a greater understanding of how chemical compounds work and eventually a complete understanding of what atoms and molecules are. Pssst. we made flashcards to help you review the content in this episode! Find them on the free Crash Course App!

it sounds like hank believes that economic disparity was key to the scientific achievements that took place. but consider this, if one genius with most of the money could accomplish so much by being able to afford equipment and perform experiments, how much could have been accomplished if all the people had access to that equipment and could all work together and collaborate? Don't you think there might have been some geniuses in France that just never got the chance to do anything due to that wealth disparity? He said to think about the implications and I did

In my dialect of dutch, -West-Flemish-, Lussac is exactly pronounced the same way as our cuss word, lussak, which is a shortening of -luie- (lazy) and zak -nutsac-. Precedented by the word Gay, made me -laughter-when writing it down. The next name I had to write down was, Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo Avogadro di Quaregna e Cerreto. I had the feeling the universe was punishing my small-mindedness.

I think it would be fair to say that french inequality allowed him to achieve his work, but you make it sound like there's no other feasible alternative. Yes, some means will result in an end, but they're not to automatically be accepted as the only option and they certainly are not to be excused. Im alright with taking both the good and bad of history.

The implications of wealth inequality have always been the same. The fortunate thrive at the suffering of the unfortunate. And eventually the suffering unfortunate outnumber and suffer to such an extent that the fortunate start misplacing their heads. I'll leave you to think of the implications of that on your own.

I'd like to see Lavoisier's personal fortune pay for CERN or NASA. Science doesn't need aristocrats and inequality to make it happen, and if it was reliably funded more consistently we might be a lot further on than we are thanks to some curious billionaires.

Shouldn't it be 1 O to 1. 75 N, 1 O to 0. 875 N, and 1 O to. 4375 N. If you multiply everything by 16 (oxygen atomic mass) you get the correct values of 16 O to 28 N (N2O, 16 O to 14 N (NO, and 16 O to 7 N (NO2)

I would have don-t this episode and episode 2 as parts 1 & 2 and then gone on to the structure later. I feel it-s jumping around a bit.

I understand that you are trying to simplify, but Joseph Priestley gave Lavoisier a great starting point for many of his discoveries.
