OFFICER MARRERO: We're going to run all these boxes. Through the mail facility, we get narcotics every day. You name it, we've seen it loaded. Sneakers, coffee beans, radios, hard drives, electronic equipment. Nothing surprises us anymore. It's like, every day you get something new.

This one was a negative. Definitely not narcotics.

That doesn't look good.

OFFICER MARRERO (VOICEOVER): And it says, sporting goods equipment and two fans. I don't see the reason to send fans. They got them everywhere. This package is coming from a source country, Trinidad and Tobago, and it's going to a demand country, Australia. The value is very high over there for any type of narcotic. Something doesn't look right.

This seems like cheap plastic, but in the image it looks too thick. The only way to really look if you don't like the image-- take a quick peek inside.

See that, right there? That's not supposed to be there. That's why it looks thicker in the X-ray machine. They usually glue them in. And they're not hard to pop off. Try to see if we can peel back a little bit of it, so we can see what's under it.

And whatever it is, it's wrapped in aluminum foil. See? It's loaded. You can see that it's white. I'll test it real quick. We should have green with some pink above it. It's hard to see but, it's there. It's positive.

It's cocaine. We have 806.4 grams.

[intense music]

I can tell you what it's going to go for now-- nothing. One for the good guys.

Thermodynamics vs. kinetics | Applications of thermodynamics | AP Chemistry | Khan Academy

In chemistry, it’s important to distinguish between thermodynamics and kinetics. For example, if we think about the conversion of carbon as a solid in the diamond form to carbon as a solid in the graphite form, thermodynamics tells us what will happen. Wi…
