0:00:00.260,0:00:01.400
- [Instructor] In a previous video,

0:00:01.400,0:00:04.000
we used a particulate model like this

0:00:04.000,0:00:05.310
to understand a reaction,

0:00:05.310,0:00:07.477
not just to understand the reaction,

0:00:08.490,0:00:11.120
but to balance the[br]chemical reaction as well.

0:00:11.120,0:00:14.390
And when I hand drew these particles,

0:00:14.390,0:00:17.300
the atoms in this particulate model here,

0:00:17.300,0:00:19.190
I tried to draw it pretty close

0:00:19.190,0:00:21.620
to their actual relative sizes.

0:00:21.620,0:00:24.140
Carbon atoms are a little[br]bit bigger than oxygen atoms,

0:00:24.140,0:00:27.220
and they're both a lot[br]bigger than hydrogen atoms.

0:00:27.220,0:00:28.360
What we're gonna do in this video

0:00:28.360,0:00:32.190
is extend our understanding[br]using a particulate model

0:00:32.190,0:00:35.000
to start to visualize[br]what actually might go on

0:00:35.000,0:00:36.220
in a mixture

0:00:36.220,0:00:40.860
of some of these reactant molecules.

0:00:40.860,0:00:43.320
So what I have here on the left-hand side

0:00:43.320,0:00:45.120
are the various molecules.

0:00:45.120,0:00:47.530
I have two methane molecules here.

0:00:47.530,0:00:49.500
I have three water molecules.

0:00:49.500,0:00:51.670
And what I wanna do with you

0:00:51.670,0:00:56.360
is draw what we would expect[br]to see after the reaction.

0:00:56.360,0:00:58.790
And I encourage you, like[br]always, pause this video

0:00:58.790,0:01:00.190
and see if you can have a go at that,

0:01:00.190,0:01:01.200
maybe with a pencil and paper,

0:01:01.200,0:01:03.210
at least just try to[br]imagine it in your head,

0:01:03.210,0:01:04.693
before I do this with you.

0:01:05.550,0:01:07.700
All right, now, let's do this together.

0:01:07.700,0:01:11.410
Now, we know that for every[br]methane and every water,

0:01:11.410,0:01:15.060
we're going to produce one carbon monoxide

0:01:15.060,0:01:17.610
and three molecular hydrogens.

0:01:17.610,0:01:19.470
And each of those molecules of hydrogen

0:01:19.470,0:01:21.280
have two hydrogens in them.

0:01:21.280,0:01:26.280
So let's just say that this[br]one and this one react.

0:01:26.320,0:01:28.980
They're going to produce[br]one carbon monoxide.

0:01:28.980,0:01:31.660
I'm gonna try to draw the[br]relative sizes roughly, right?

0:01:31.660,0:01:35.150
So one carbon monoxide.

0:01:35.150,0:01:38.770
And then they're gonna[br]produce six hydrogen atoms

0:01:38.770,0:01:41.530
that are going to be in[br]three hydrogen molecules.

0:01:41.530,0:01:43.200
So let's do,

0:01:43.200,0:01:47.700
that's two and four,

0:01:47.700,0:01:50.020
and then I'll just do one here

0:01:50.020,0:01:53.270
and then six.

0:01:53.270,0:01:56.370
All right, so I took care[br]of this one and this one.

0:01:56.370,0:02:00.700
And now we can imagine that[br]maybe this water molecule

0:02:00.700,0:02:03.400
reacts with this methane molecule,

0:02:03.400,0:02:07.080
and so that would produce[br]another carbon monoxide.

0:02:07.080,0:02:08.280
Let me draw that

0:02:08.280,0:02:09.800
roughly at the right size.

0:02:09.800,0:02:14.030
Another carbon monoxide molecule

0:02:15.660,0:02:19.340
and three more hydrogen molecules

0:02:19.340,0:02:21.130
for a total of six more hydrogens.

0:02:21.130,0:02:25.740
So that's one and two

0:02:26.770,0:02:28.830
and three.

0:02:28.830,0:02:31.810
And now we have this water right over here

0:02:31.810,0:02:34.560
that had no one to react[br]with in this situation,

0:02:34.560,0:02:35.850
had no partner.

0:02:35.850,0:02:40.100
And so that's just going to be[br]a leftover reactant molecule.

0:02:40.100,0:02:42.220
So let me just draw it right over here.

0:02:42.220,0:02:45.885
So that water could be

0:02:45.885,0:02:49.830
right over right over here.

0:02:49.830,0:02:51.660
And so this was a useful way

0:02:51.660,0:02:53.880
of starting to visualize[br]what might be going on.

0:02:53.880,0:02:55.610
Remember, this is happening[br]at a very high temperature.

0:02:55.610,0:02:58.060
They're all bouncing around, et cetera.

0:02:58.060,0:03:00.220
And then when they react,[br]you might get this,

0:03:00.220,0:03:02.640
but then this water molecule[br]has no one to react to,

0:03:02.640,0:03:05.840
so it is, you could view it as a leftover

0:03:05.840,0:03:07.453
after the reaction.
