1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,710 2 00:00:00,710 --> 00:00:05,000 I've already told you multiple times that big, uppercase U is 3 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,754 the internal energy of a system. 4 00:00:07,754 --> 00:00:10,220 And it's really everything thrown in there. 5 00:00:10,220 --> 00:00:12,490 It's the kinetic energy of the molecules. 6 00:00:12,490 --> 00:00:15,700 It has the potential energy if the molecules are vibrating. 7 00:00:15,700 --> 00:00:19,660 It has the chemical energy of the bonds. 8 00:00:19,660 --> 00:00:22,060 It has the potential energy of electrons that want to get 9 00:00:22,060 --> 00:00:22,590 some place. 10 00:00:22,590 --> 00:00:25,200 But, for our sake, and especially if we're kind of in 11 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:29,130 an introductory chemistry, physics, or thermodynamics 12 00:00:29,130 --> 00:00:32,229 course, let's just assume that we're talking about a system 13 00:00:32,229 --> 00:00:33,570 that's an ideal gas. 14 00:00:33,570 --> 00:00:38,500 And even better, it's a kind of a monoatomic ideal gas. 15 00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:43,390 So everything in on my system are just individual atoms. So 16 00:00:43,390 --> 00:00:46,200 in that case, the only energy in the system is all going to 17 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,310 be the kinetic energy of each of these particles. 18 00:00:49,310 --> 00:00:51,080 So what I want to do in this video-- it's going to get a 19 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,780 little bit mathy, but I think it'll be satisfying for those 20 00:00:53,780 --> 00:00:57,880 of you who stick with it-- is to relate how much internal 21 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,010 energy there really is in a system of a certain pressure, 22 00:01:01,010 --> 00:01:02,850 volume, or temperature. 23 00:01:02,850 --> 00:01:06,060 So we want to relate pressure, volume, or temperature to 24 00:01:06,060 --> 00:01:07,190 internal energy. 25 00:01:07,190 --> 00:01:10,730 Notice all the videos we've done up until now, I just said 26 00:01:10,730 --> 00:01:12,420 what's the change in internal energy. 27 00:01:12,420 --> 00:01:15,810 And we related that to the heat put into or taken out of 28 00:01:15,810 --> 00:01:18,600 a system, or the work done, or done to, 29 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:19,760 or done by the system. 30 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,490 But now, let's just say before we do any work or any heat, 31 00:01:22,490 --> 00:01:24,445 how do we know how much internal energy we even have 32 00:01:24,445 --> 00:01:25,680 in a system? 33 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,770 And to do this, let's do a little bit of a thought 34 00:01:28,770 --> 00:01:29,800 experiment. 35 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,740 There is a bit of a simplification I'll make here. 36 00:01:33,740 --> 00:01:38,130 But I think you'll find it OK, or reasonably satisfying. 37 00:01:38,130 --> 00:01:42,210 So let's say-- let me just draw it-- I have a cube. 38 00:01:42,210 --> 00:01:44,810 And something tells me that I might have already done this 39 00:01:44,810 --> 00:01:47,230 pseudo-proof in the physics play list. Although, I don't 40 00:01:47,230 --> 00:01:50,090 think I related exactly to internal energy. 41 00:01:50,090 --> 00:01:51,930 So I'll do that here. 42 00:01:51,930 --> 00:01:56,160 Let's say my system is this cube. 43 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,180 And let's say the dimensions of the cube 44 00:01:58,180 --> 00:02:00,110 are x in every direction. 45 00:02:00,110 --> 00:02:04,010 So it's x high, x wide, and x deep. 46 00:02:04,010 --> 00:02:07,510 So its volume is, of course, x to the third. 47 00:02:07,510 --> 00:02:09,389 And let's say I have n particles in my 48 00:02:09,389 --> 00:02:12,600 system, capital N. 49 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,480 I could have written lowercase n moles, but let's just keep 50 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:16,260 it straightforward. 51 00:02:16,260 --> 00:02:17,510 I have N particles. 52 00:02:17,510 --> 00:02:20,260 53 00:02:20,260 --> 00:02:23,810 So they're all doing what they will. 54 00:02:23,810 --> 00:02:26,030 Now, this is where I'm going to make the gross 55 00:02:26,030 --> 00:02:27,100 simplification. 56 00:02:27,100 --> 00:02:28,610 But I think it's reasonable. 57 00:02:28,610 --> 00:02:31,210 So in a normal system, every particle, and we've done this 58 00:02:31,210 --> 00:02:34,410 before, is just bouncing off in every which way, every 59 00:02:34,410 --> 00:02:36,330 possible random direction. 60 00:02:36,330 --> 00:02:38,950 And that's what, when they ricochet off of each of the 61 00:02:38,950 --> 00:02:41,420 sides, that's what causes the pressure. 62 00:02:41,420 --> 00:02:43,750 And they're always bumping into each other, et cetera, et 63 00:02:43,750 --> 00:02:45,360 cetera, in all random directions. 64 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,170 Now, for the sake of simplicity of our mathematics, 65 00:02:48,170 --> 00:02:51,000 and just to be able to do it in a reasonable amount of 66 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,120 time, I'm going to make an assumption. 67 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,340 I'm going to make an assumption that 1/3 of the 68 00:02:55,340 --> 00:03:00,210 particles are going-- well, 1/3 of the particles are going 69 00:03:00,210 --> 00:03:01,730 parallel to each of the axes. 70 00:03:01,730 --> 00:03:07,660 So 1/3 of the particles are going in this direction, I 71 00:03:07,660 --> 00:03:09,710 guess we could say, left to right. 72 00:03:09,710 --> 00:03:13,440 1/3 of the particles are going up and down. 73 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,300 74 00:03:17,300 --> 00:03:21,970 And then 1/3 of the particles are going forward and back. 75 00:03:21,970 --> 00:03:24,520 Now, we know that this isn't what's going in reality, but 76 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,350 it makes our math a lot simpler. 77 00:03:26,350 --> 00:03:29,640 And if you actually were to do the statistical mechanics 78 00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:32,370 behind all of the particles going in every which way, you 79 00:03:32,370 --> 00:03:34,350 would actually end up getting the same result. 80 00:03:34,350 --> 00:03:35,820 Now, with that said, I'm saying it's a gross 81 00:03:35,820 --> 00:03:36,590 oversimplification. 82 00:03:36,590 --> 00:03:39,840 There is some infinitesimally small chance that we actually 83 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,120 do fall onto a system where this is already the case. 84 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,860 And we'll talk a little bit later about entropy and why 85 00:03:44,860 --> 00:03:46,400 it's such a small probability. 86 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,200 But this could actually be our system. 87 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,720 And this system would generate pressure. 88 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,420 And it makes our math a lot simpler. 89 00:03:51,420 --> 00:03:53,770 So with that said, let's study this system. 90 00:03:53,770 --> 00:03:57,070 So let's take a sideways view. 91 00:03:57,070 --> 00:03:59,010 Let's take a sideways view right here. 92 00:03:59,010 --> 00:04:01,770 93 00:04:01,770 --> 00:04:03,800 And let's just study one particle. 94 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,280 Maybe I should have done it in green. 95 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,670 But let's say I have one particle. 96 00:04:07,670 --> 00:04:12,660 It has some mass, m, and some velocity, v. 97 00:04:12,660 --> 00:04:17,500 98 00:04:17,500 --> 00:04:21,890 And this is one of the capital N particles in my system. 99 00:04:21,890 --> 00:04:25,190 But what I'm curious is how much pressure does this 100 00:04:25,190 --> 00:04:28,010 particle exert on this wall right here? 101 00:04:28,010 --> 00:04:30,530 102 00:04:30,530 --> 00:04:34,180 We know what the area of this wall is, right? 103 00:04:34,180 --> 00:04:37,260 The area of this wall is x times x. 104 00:04:37,260 --> 00:04:40,740 So it's x squared area. 105 00:04:40,740 --> 00:04:43,910 How much force is being exerted by this particle? 106 00:04:43,910 --> 00:04:44,880 Well, let's think about it this way. 107 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,960 It's going forward, or left to right just like this. 108 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,240 And the force will be exerted when it changes its momentum. 109 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,420 I'll do a little bit of review of kinetics right here. 110 00:04:53,420 --> 00:04:59,800 We know that force is equal to mass times acceleration. 111 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,700 We know acceleration can be written as, which is equal to 112 00:05:02,700 --> 00:05:10,630 mass times, change in velocity over change in time. 113 00:05:10,630 --> 00:05:12,940 And, of course, we know that this could be rewritten as 114 00:05:12,940 --> 00:05:15,800 this is equal to-- mass is a constant and shouldn't change 115 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,500 for the physics we deal with-- so it's delta. 116 00:05:18,500 --> 00:05:20,140 We could put that inside of the change. 117 00:05:20,140 --> 00:05:23,820 So it's delta mv over change in time. 118 00:05:23,820 --> 00:05:26,730 And this is just change in momentum, right? 119 00:05:26,730 --> 00:05:30,890 So this is equal to change in momentum over change in time. 120 00:05:30,890 --> 00:05:33,030 So that's another way to write force. 121 00:05:33,030 --> 00:05:34,560 So what's the change in momentum going 122 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:35,980 to be for this particle? 123 00:05:35,980 --> 00:05:37,800 Well, it's going to bump into this wall. 124 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,180 In this direction, right now, it has some momentum. 125 00:05:41,180 --> 00:05:43,250 Its momentum is equal to mv. 126 00:05:43,250 --> 00:05:45,420 And it's going to bump into this wall, and then going to 127 00:05:45,420 --> 00:05:47,130 ricochet straight back. 128 00:05:47,130 --> 00:05:49,530 And what's its momentum going to be? 129 00:05:49,530 --> 00:05:50,990 Well, it's going to have the same mass 130 00:05:50,990 --> 00:05:52,220 and the same velocity. 131 00:05:52,220 --> 00:05:54,190 We'll assume it's a completely elastic collision. 132 00:05:54,190 --> 00:05:56,270 Nothing is lost to heat or whatever else. 133 00:05:56,270 --> 00:05:57,980 But the velocity is in the other direction. 134 00:05:57,980 --> 00:06:01,640 So the new momentum is going to be minus mv, because the 135 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,380 velocity has switched directions. 136 00:06:04,380 --> 00:06:08,590 Now, if I come in with a momentum of mv, and I ricochet 137 00:06:08,590 --> 00:06:10,950 off with a momentum of minus mv, what's 138 00:06:10,950 --> 00:06:12,890 my change in momentum? 139 00:06:12,890 --> 00:06:17,720 My change in momentum, off of that ricochet, is equal to-- 140 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,220 well, it's the difference between these two, 141 00:06:19,220 --> 00:06:20,470 which is just 2mv. 142 00:06:20,470 --> 00:06:22,830 143 00:06:22,830 --> 00:06:24,230 Now, that doesn't give me the force. 144 00:06:24,230 --> 00:06:26,860 I need to know the change in momentum per unit of time. 145 00:06:26,860 --> 00:06:32,390 146 00:06:32,390 --> 00:06:33,840 So how often does this happen? 147 00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:35,410 How frequently? 148 00:06:35,410 --> 00:06:39,040 Well, it's going to happen every time we come here. 149 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,020 We're going to hit this wall. 150 00:06:40,020 --> 00:06:41,670 Then the particle is going to have to travel here, bounce 151 00:06:41,670 --> 00:06:43,080 off of that wall, and then come back 152 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,370 here and hit it again. 153 00:06:45,370 --> 00:06:47,600 So that's how frequently it's going to happen. 154 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,280 So how long of an interval do we have to wait between the 155 00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:52,450 collisions? 156 00:06:52,450 --> 00:06:55,040 Well, the particle has to travel x going back. 157 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,300 It's going to collide. 158 00:06:56,300 --> 00:06:58,790 It's going to have to travel x to the left. 159 00:06:58,790 --> 00:07:00,090 This distance is x. 160 00:07:00,090 --> 00:07:02,890 Let me do that in a different color. 161 00:07:02,890 --> 00:07:04,720 This distance right here is x. 162 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,310 It's going to have to travel x to go back. 163 00:07:07,310 --> 00:07:08,800 Then it's going to have to travel x back. 164 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,740 So it's going to have to travel 2x distance. 165 00:07:11,740 --> 00:07:15,060 And how long will it take it to travel 2x distance? 166 00:07:15,060 --> 00:07:19,100 Well, the time, delta T, is equal to, we know this. 167 00:07:19,100 --> 00:07:22,710 Distance is equal to rate times time. 168 00:07:22,710 --> 00:07:29,390 Or if we do distance divided by rate, we'll get the amount 169 00:07:29,390 --> 00:07:30,630 of time we took. 170 00:07:30,630 --> 00:07:33,900 This is just our basic motion formula. 171 00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:35,500 Our delta T, the distance we have to 172 00:07:35,500 --> 00:07:36,830 travel is back and forth. 173 00:07:36,830 --> 00:07:41,040 So it's 2 x's, divided by-- what's our rate? 174 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,720 Well, our rate is our velocity. 175 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:43,970 Divided by v. 176 00:07:43,970 --> 00:07:47,810 177 00:07:47,810 --> 00:07:48,260 There you go. 178 00:07:48,260 --> 00:07:51,440 So this is our delta T right here. 179 00:07:51,440 --> 00:08:03,680 So our change in momentum per time is equal to 2 times our 180 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:04,620 incident momentum. 181 00:08:04,620 --> 00:08:07,500 Because we ricocheted back with the same magnitude, but 182 00:08:07,500 --> 00:08:08,430 negative momentum. 183 00:08:08,430 --> 00:08:09,475 So that's our change in momentum. 184 00:08:09,475 --> 00:08:12,890 And then our change in time is this value over here. 185 00:08:12,890 --> 00:08:15,380 It's the total distance we have to travel between 186 00:08:15,380 --> 00:08:18,800 collisions of this wall, divided by our velocity. 187 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:27,920 So it is, 2x divided by v, which is equal to 2mv times 188 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,780 the reciprocal of this-- so this is just fraction 189 00:08:30,780 --> 00:08:32,755 math-- v over 2x. 190 00:08:32,755 --> 00:08:34,010 And what is this equal to? 191 00:08:34,010 --> 00:08:35,710 The 2's cancel out. 192 00:08:35,710 --> 00:08:41,710 So that is equal to mv squared, over x. 193 00:08:41,710 --> 00:08:42,260 Interesting. 194 00:08:42,260 --> 00:08:45,250 We're getting someplace interesting already. 195 00:08:45,250 --> 00:08:47,590 And if it doesn't seem too interesting, just hang on with 196 00:08:47,590 --> 00:08:48,260 me for a second. 197 00:08:48,260 --> 00:08:52,520 Now, this is the force being applied by one particle, is 198 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,730 this-- force from one particle on this wall. 199 00:08:56,730 --> 00:09:02,330 200 00:09:02,330 --> 00:09:03,840 Now, what was the area? 201 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,090 We care about the pressure. 202 00:09:05,090 --> 00:09:12,200 203 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,610 We wrote it up here. 204 00:09:14,610 --> 00:09:16,890 The pressure is equal to the force per area. 205 00:09:16,890 --> 00:09:21,360 206 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,160 So this is the force of that particle. 207 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,570 So that's mv squared over x, divided by 208 00:09:28,570 --> 00:09:29,840 the area of the wall. 209 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,730 Well, what's the area of the wall? 210 00:09:31,730 --> 00:09:35,200 The area of the wall here, each sideis x. 211 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,610 And so if we draw the wall there, it's x times x. 212 00:09:37,610 --> 00:09:39,360 It's x squared. 213 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,390 So divided by the area of the wall, is x squared. 214 00:09:43,390 --> 00:09:44,250 And what does this equal? 215 00:09:44,250 --> 00:09:52,370 This is equal to mv squared over x cubed. 216 00:09:52,370 --> 00:09:54,790 You can just say, this is times 1 over x squared, when 217 00:09:54,790 --> 00:09:55,760 this all becomes x cubed. 218 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,530 This is just fraction math. 219 00:09:57,530 --> 00:09:59,120 So now we have an interesting thing. 220 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:07,160 The pressure due to this one particle-- let's just call 221 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:14,220 this from this one particle-- is equal to m v 222 00:10:14,220 --> 00:10:16,750 squared over x cubed. 223 00:10:16,750 --> 00:10:18,650 Now, what's x cubed? 224 00:10:18,650 --> 00:10:20,960 That's the volume of our container. 225 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,210 Over the volume. 226 00:10:22,210 --> 00:10:27,120 I'll do that in a big V, right? 227 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,130 So let's see if we can relate this to something else that's 228 00:10:29,130 --> 00:10:29,630 interesting. 229 00:10:29,630 --> 00:10:32,820 So that means that the pressure being exerted by this 230 00:10:32,820 --> 00:10:36,220 one particle-- well, actually let me just take another step. 231 00:10:36,220 --> 00:10:39,280 So this is one particle on this wall, right? 232 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:40,900 This is from one particle on this wall. 233 00:10:40,900 --> 00:10:45,890 Now, of all the particles-- we have N particles in our cube-- 234 00:10:45,890 --> 00:10:47,860 what fraction of them are going to be 235 00:10:47,860 --> 00:10:49,170 bouncing off of this wall? 236 00:10:49,170 --> 00:10:50,730 That are going to be doing the exact same 237 00:10:50,730 --> 00:10:52,950 thing as this particle? 238 00:10:52,950 --> 00:10:53,820 Well, I just said. 239 00:10:53,820 --> 00:10:55,380 1/3 are going to be going in this direction. 240 00:10:55,380 --> 00:10:56,820 1/3 are going to be going up and down. 241 00:10:56,820 --> 00:10:58,930 And 1/3 are going to go be going in and out. 242 00:10:58,930 --> 00:11:02,420 So if I have N total particles, N over 3 are going 243 00:11:02,420 --> 00:11:06,195 to be doing exactly what this particle is going to be doing. 244 00:11:06,195 --> 00:11:08,740 245 00:11:08,740 --> 00:11:10,350 This is the pressure from one particle. 246 00:11:10,350 --> 00:11:12,850 If I wanted the pressure from all of the particles on that 247 00:11:12,850 --> 00:11:15,960 wall-- so the total pressure on that wall is going to be 248 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,000 from N over 3 of the particles. 249 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,990 The other particles aren't bouncing off that wall. 250 00:11:19,990 --> 00:11:21,700 So we don't have to worry about them. 251 00:11:21,700 --> 00:11:26,620 So if we want the total pressure on that wall-- I'll 252 00:11:26,620 --> 00:11:29,150 just write, pressure sub on the wall. 253 00:11:29,150 --> 00:11:31,060 Total pressure on the wall is going to be the pressure from 254 00:11:31,060 --> 00:11:37,400 one particle, mv squared, over our volume, times the total 255 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,950 number of particles hitting the wall. 256 00:11:40,950 --> 00:11:44,750 The total number of particles is N divided by 3, because 257 00:11:44,750 --> 00:11:47,270 only 3 will be going in that direction. 258 00:11:47,270 --> 00:11:50,800 So, the total pressure on that wall is equal to mv squared, 259 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,790 over our volume of our container, times the total 260 00:11:52,790 --> 00:11:54,115 particles divided by 3. 261 00:11:54,115 --> 00:11:57,610 Let's see if we can manipulate this thing a little bit. 262 00:11:57,610 --> 00:12:02,420 So if we multiply both sides by-- let's see what we can do. 263 00:12:02,420 --> 00:12:14,390 If we multiply both sides by 3v, we get pv times 3 is equal 264 00:12:14,390 --> 00:12:21,730 to mv squared, times N, where N is the number of particles. 265 00:12:21,730 --> 00:12:24,580 Let's divide both sides by N. 266 00:12:24,580 --> 00:12:34,270 So we get 3pv over-- actually, no, let me leave the N there. 267 00:12:34,270 --> 00:12:41,240 Let's divide both sides of this equation by 2. 268 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,520 So we get, what do we get? 269 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:49,320 We get 3/2 pv is equal to-- now this is interesting. 270 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:54,780 It's equal to N, the number of particles we have, times mv 271 00:12:54,780 --> 00:12:57,920 squared over 2. 272 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,610 Remember, I just divided this equation right 273 00:12:59,610 --> 00:13:00,650 here by 2 to get this. 274 00:13:00,650 --> 00:13:02,280 And I did this for a very particular reason. 275 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,260 What is mv squared over 2? 276 00:13:05,260 --> 00:13:09,910 mv squared over 2 is the kinetic energy of that little 277 00:13:09,910 --> 00:13:11,140 particle we started off with. 278 00:13:11,140 --> 00:13:12,900 That's the formula for kinetic energy. 279 00:13:12,900 --> 00:13:20,070 Kinetic energy is equal to mv squared over 2. 280 00:13:20,070 --> 00:13:21,950 So this is the kinetic energy of one particle. 281 00:13:21,950 --> 00:13:28,570 282 00:13:28,570 --> 00:13:30,890 Now, we're multiplying that times the total number of 283 00:13:30,890 --> 00:13:33,280 particles we have, times N. 284 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,890 So N times the kinetic energy of one particle is going to be 285 00:13:35,890 --> 00:13:37,490 the kinetic energy of all the particles. 286 00:13:37,490 --> 00:13:39,430 And, of course, we also made another assumption. 287 00:13:39,430 --> 00:13:41,160 I should state that I assumed that all the particles are 288 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,510 moving with the same velocity and have the same mass. 289 00:13:43,510 --> 00:13:45,880 In a real situation, the particles might have very 290 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,060 different velocities. 291 00:13:47,060 --> 00:13:48,980 But this was one of our simplifying assumptions. 292 00:13:48,980 --> 00:13:50,850 So, we just assumed they all have that. 293 00:13:50,850 --> 00:13:53,890 So, if I multiply N times that-- this statement right 294 00:13:53,890 --> 00:13:56,285 here-- is the kinetic energy of the system. 295 00:13:56,285 --> 00:14:01,700 296 00:14:01,700 --> 00:14:03,140 Now, we're almost there. 297 00:14:03,140 --> 00:14:04,480 In fact, we are there. 298 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,610 We just established that the kinetic energy of the system 299 00:14:08,610 --> 00:14:12,730 is equal to 3/2 times the pressure, times the volume of 300 00:14:12,730 --> 00:14:13,650 the system. 301 00:14:13,650 --> 00:14:16,270 Now, what is the kinetic energy of the system? 302 00:14:16,270 --> 00:14:17,320 It's the internal energy. 303 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,290 Because we said all the energy in the system, because it's a 304 00:14:19,290 --> 00:14:22,900 simple ideal monoatomic gas, all of the energy in the 305 00:14:22,900 --> 00:14:25,770 system is in kinetic energy. 306 00:14:25,770 --> 00:14:30,980 So we could say the internal energy of the system is equal 307 00:14:30,980 --> 00:14:33,370 to-- that's just the total kinetic energy of the system-- 308 00:14:33,370 --> 00:14:38,020 it's equal to 3/2 times our total pressure, times our 309 00:14:38,020 --> 00:14:38,620 total volume. 310 00:14:38,620 --> 00:14:41,070 Now you might say, hey, Sal, you just figured out the 311 00:14:41,070 --> 00:14:42,130 pressure on this side. 312 00:14:42,130 --> 00:14:43,960 What about the pressure on that side, and that side, and 313 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,730 that side, or on every side of the cube? 314 00:14:45,730 --> 00:14:46,850 Well, the pressure on every side of the 315 00:14:46,850 --> 00:14:48,250 cube is the same value. 316 00:14:48,250 --> 00:14:50,530 So all we have to do is find in terms of the pressure on 317 00:14:50,530 --> 00:14:52,420 one side, and that's essentially the pressure of 318 00:14:52,420 --> 00:14:54,480 the system. 319 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:55,590 So what else can we do with that? 320 00:14:55,590 --> 00:15:00,700 Well, we know that pv is equal to nRT, our ideal gas formula. 321 00:15:00,700 --> 00:15:06,475 pv is equal to nRT, where this is the number of moles of gas. 322 00:15:06,475 --> 00:15:08,410 And this is the ideal gas constant. 323 00:15:08,410 --> 00:15:10,240 This is our temperature in kelvin. 324 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,880 So if we make that replacement, we'll say that 325 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:17,140 internal energy can also be written as 3/2 times the 326 00:15:17,140 --> 00:15:20,500 number of moles we have, times the ideal gas constant, times 327 00:15:20,500 --> 00:15:22,290 our temperature. 328 00:15:22,290 --> 00:15:24,560 Now, I did a lot of work, and it's a little bit mathy. 329 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,780 But these results are, one, interesting. 330 00:15:27,780 --> 00:15:30,140 Because now you have a direct relationship. 331 00:15:30,140 --> 00:15:32,860 If you know the pressure and the volume, you know what the 332 00:15:32,860 --> 00:15:37,530 actual internal energy, or the total kinetic energy, 333 00:15:37,530 --> 00:15:38,660 of the system is. 334 00:15:38,660 --> 00:15:41,350 Or, if you know what the temperature and the number of 335 00:15:41,350 --> 00:15:44,320 molecules you have are, you also know what the internal 336 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:45,630 energy of the system is. 337 00:15:45,630 --> 00:15:48,520 And there's a couple of key takeaways I want you to have. 338 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,070 If the temperature does not change in our ideal situation 339 00:15:52,070 --> 00:15:56,930 here-- if delta T is equal to 0-- if this doesn't change, 340 00:15:56,930 --> 00:15:58,680 the number particles aren't going to change. 341 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:04,750 Then our internal energy does not change as well. 342 00:16:04,750 --> 00:16:07,030 So if we say that there is some change in internal 343 00:16:07,030 --> 00:16:10,790 energy, and I'll use this in future proofs, we could say 344 00:16:10,790 --> 00:16:16,360 that that's equal to 3/2 times nR times-- well, the only 345 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,850 thing that can change, not the number molecules or the ideal 346 00:16:18,850 --> 00:16:21,350 gas constant-- times the change in T. 347 00:16:21,350 --> 00:16:27,000 Or, it could also be written as 3/2 times the change in pv. 348 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,450 We don't know if either of these are constant. 349 00:16:28,450 --> 00:16:30,520 So we have to say the change in the product. 350 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,780 Anyway, this was a little bit mathy. 351 00:16:32,780 --> 00:16:34,050 And I apologize for it. 352 00:16:34,050 --> 00:16:36,840 But hopefully, it gives you a little bit more sense that 353 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,300 this really is just the sum of all the kinetic energy. 354 00:16:39,300 --> 00:16:42,420 We related it to some of these macro state variables, like 355 00:16:42,420 --> 00:16:44,590 pressure, volume, and time. 356 00:16:44,590 --> 00:16:47,640 And now, since I've done the video on it, we can actually 357 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,990 use this result in future proofs. 358 00:16:50,990 --> 00:16:53,220 Or at least you won't complain too much if I do. 359 00:16:53,220 --> 00:16:54,470 Anyway, see you in the next video. 360 00:16:54,470 --> 00:00:00,000
