CD #3 Track 17: The terms 'cohesive' and 'adhesive' are reversed when Jordan says:

"The cohesive forces of water to glass are greater than the adhesive forces of water to water. The
cohesive forces can cause a water column to climb the glass of a thin test tube. This is called
capillary action. If the adhesive forces are stronger than the cohesive forces, like mercury in a
glass test tube, the miniscus is convexed and will be pulled downward in a thin test tube."


He should have said:

"The adhesive forces of water to glass are greater than the cohesive forces of water to water. The
adhesive forces can cause a water column to climb the glass of a thin test tube. This is called
capillary action. If the cohesive forces are stronger than the adhesive forces, like mercury in a
glass test tube, the miniscus is convexed and will be pulled downward in a thin test tube."

All other references to cohesive and adhesive are correct.

Cohesive forces are the forces between molecules within the fluid, such as water-to-water forces.
Adhesive forces are the forces between the molecules of the fluid and the container, such as
water-to-glass.

CD #4 Track 18: When discussing the critical angle Jordan says "If the light is

moving from a lower index of refraction to a higher index of refraction..."
Total internal reflection occurs when light tries to move from a medium with a HIGH index of refraction to a medium with a LOW index of refraction and the angle of incidence is so great that all the light is reflected back into the high indexed medium.
In the same discussion, Jon says "The larger index of refraction must be on the top of the ratio." when solving for the critical angle with Snell's law. The opposite is true. The larger index of refraction must be on the bottom of the ratio, so that the ratio is a fraction less than one.

but is not affected by a catalyst or by concentrations." He should have said "The
equilibrium CONSTANT changes with temperature, but the EQUILIBRIUM

The net heat transfer is actually proportional to T^4 - Te^4) NOT (T-Te)^4

between the body and the environment.

Track 1: Heat Curves
Track 2: Thermodynamics of Phase Change
CD #7 Track 2: While discussing melting Jon says "It is interesting to relate
thermodynamics to the heat curve... ...But the enthalpy change is NEGATIVE"
Jon should have said "It is interesting to relate thermodynamics to the heat
curve... ...But the enthalpy change is POSITIVE" Both enthalpy change and
entropy change are positive during melting. Everything else in the track still
applies. If both entropy and enthalpy change are positive, delta G depends upon
temperature.

backwards. Lewis acids accept a pair of electrons and Lewis bases donate a pair
of electrons.

cells contain MORE chloride ions than venous red blood cells."

Track 27: Half Reaction Potentials
Track 28: The Galvanic Cell
Track 29: An Example of a Galvanic Cell
Track 30: Gibbs Free Energy and EMF

CD #7 Track 30: Jordan says "If delta G zero is positive, K is greater than one. If delta G zero is negative, then K is less than one." This is backwards. A positive delta G zero indicates a K less than one, and a negative delta G zero indicates a K greater than one.

CD #8 Track 23: Jon says "...dragging the second tRNA to the P site, adn

Jon should say: "...dragging the second tRNA to the P site, and exposing the A
site for yet another tRNA."

DNA and RNA are read 5 to 3. Anticodons are an exception and they are read 3-

5. This track says that the anticodon is read 5 to 3. This is incorrect. This
knowledge is very unlikely to be tested by the MCAT.

CD #9,Track 50: They say that the oocyte undergoes meiosis 1 and 2 after

penetration by the sperm.
This is incorrect for humans. The correct process is as follows:
“Oogenesis begins in the ovaries of the fetus. All the eggs of the female are
arrested as primary oocytes at birth... ...Shortly before the primary oocyte is
released from the follicle during ovulation, the nucleus divides by meiosis to
become the secondary oocyte... ...The entry of the sperm causes the cortical
reaction, which prevents other sperms from fertilizing the same egg. Now the
oocyte goes through the second meiotic division releasing a second polar body.
Fertilization occurs when the nuclei of the egg and sperm fuse to form the
zygote.”

Just spotted another one.

In CD 12, Track 13: SN1 vs. SN2, Jordan says, "Polar solvents increase the rate of SN1 by stabilizing the carbocation, but inhibit SN2 by stabilizing the nucleophile."

He should have said "PROTIC, or POLAR PROTIC solvents increase the rate...."

Both SN1 and SN2 reactions are favoured by polar solvents, it is the protic nature that favours one over the other.

Track 10: The Origin of the Universe- This is the last track for biology lecture.

I heard another error in this track. It's not a huge error, but it's an error nonetheless. I am paraphasing what one of them said, The universe is 12-15 billion years old....mentions the formation of hydrogen and elements after that.... then the solar system arose 10 billion years ago, and the earth is 4 and a half billion years old.

The earth and solar system arose around the same time. So the solar system is also 4 and a half billion years old ( give or take a few million years ;))
That's not what the bible says... :rolleyes:
