Intuition behind how heat gets transferred through thermal conduction.
Fire as thermal conduction, convection, and radiation.
Why metal at room temperature feels cooler than wood at room temperature.
Intuition of how gases generate pressure in a container and why pressure x volume is proportional to the combined kinetic energy of the molecules in the volume. Created by Sal Khan.
To begin, Sal solves a constant temperature problem using PV=PV. Then he relates temperature to kinetic energy of a gas. In the second half of the video, he derives the ideal gas law. Created by Sal Khan.
Sal makes the case for the Kelvin scale of temperature and absolute zero by showing that temperature is proportional to kinetic energy. Then he explains that you need to use the Kelvin scale in the ideal gas law. To finish he does a sample ideal gas law problem. Created by Sal Khan.
Sal explains the concept of a mole. Then he derives the molar version of the ideal gas law PV=nRT, where the gas constant R=831 J/molK. Created by Sal Khan.
Sal uses the molar version of the ideal gas law to solve for the number of moles in a gas. He also shows how to convert this answer into number of molecules using Avogadro's number. Created by Sal Khan.

An introduction to title insurance. By Sal Khan.
Just because someone lives in a house doesn't always mean that they have the right to sell that house. Learn about the role of possession, titles, and deeds in the home buying process in this video.
When a demand curve is linear, calculating consumer surplus becomes relatively simple: calculate the area of a triangle. In this video we walk through calculating consumer surplus. Created by Sal Khan.
