Solutions: Crash Course Chemistry #27
This week, Hank elaborates on why Fugu can kill you by illustrating the ideas of solutions and discussing molarity, molality, and mass percent. Also, why polar ...

I want you to think, just for a second about breathing. But don't just think about the fact that you are breathing. Think about all the variables that have to be just so in order to create the air -- and to make the air breathable. So you need oxygen in the air but also if the air was just oxygen, you would die. The oxygen has to be mixed with nitrogen and other gases, and the whole concoction has to be at the right pressure and temperature in order to deliver the amount of O2 that you need. The air that you are breathing is a solution. Also, not to belabor the point, but you are also kind of a solution as well, albeit a sentient one. A solution, you'll recall back when we were doing my dirty laundry, is a mixture in which the particles of a solute are dissolved in the particle...
