Reaction Rate
This interactive simulator explores Reaction Rate in Chemistry. Arrhenius k(T), order 0/1/2, [A](t) curves and particle tank. Use the controls to change the scenario; watch the visualization and any graphs or readouts to connect the model with lectures, labs, and homework.
Who it's for: Best once you already know the basic definitions and want to build intuition. Typical context: Chemistry.

How it works
Explore **A → B** kinetics with a simple rate law. Turn on **Arrhenius** to see how **temperature** and **activation energy** change the rate constant **k**. A **catalyst** lowers the effective barrier (modeled here as a multiplier on **k**). Curves use **closed-form** solutions for 0th / 1st / 2nd order in **[A]**.
