Videos for this Chapter: 
 (Warning: These seem to get very intense very quickly, but if you can endure through them all, you will emerge victorious and enlightened!)
 
Thermodynamics (part 1): 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.
 
Thermodynamics (part 2): Example problem that pv=pv. Introduction to temperature.
 
Thermodynamics (part 3): Introduction to Kelvin. Example of a problem involving the ideal gas law
 
Thermodynamics (part 4): Introduction to the concept of a mole. Universal gas constant R. PV=nRT
 
Thermodynamics (part 5): Example problem involving PV=nRT
