This session applies thermodynamic principles to everyday phenomena, particularly cooking, and biological systems. It emphasizes the importance of weak interactions, such as hydrogen bonds, in chemical and biological processes.
MIT 5.111 Principles of Chemical Science, Fall 2014
Chemistry is part of everyday life whether we realize it or not. In this lecture, we use thermodynamics to explain some basic observations made when cooking. Chemistry is also essential within living organisms, and we hear from researcher Lourdes Aleman about the importance of weak interactions known as hydrogen bonds.
