Rates and Equilibrium

Not started

Start with successful collisions setting reaction rate, then reuse the same chemistry language inside a reversible system that re-balances after a disturbance.

Entry diagnostic

Decide where to enter this path without opening a second testing system.

Reuse the collision-theory quick test and the equilibrium rebalance challenge to decide whether to start from successful collisions or jump straight into the reversible bench.

  1. Quick testNot started5 questions

    Collision-theory quick test

    Check whether crowding, heating, barrier-clearing success, and catalyst intuition already stay tied together on the same bench.

  2. ChallengeNot started14 checks

    Create a shift, then let it rebalance

    Start from a reactant-heavy mixture, choose clearly product-favored conditions, and wait until the forward and reverse rates nearly match again while the mixture stays product-rich.

About this track

Keep the first scan focused on the next lesson. Open the authored rationale and shared-framework notes only when you need them.

Why this order

The sequence is authored to keep the model honest.

Reaction Rate / Collision Theory comes first because the forward-versus-successful collision distinction is the clearest foundation for the chemistry slice. Dynamic Equilibrium / Le Chatelier's Principle then reuses that same particle and rate language inside a reversible system, so the later equilibrium shift does not feel like a detached chemistry slogan.

Shared concept pages

Each step opens the same simulation-first framework.

Compare mode, prediction mode, quick test, worked examples, guided overlays, challenge mode, and read-next cues stay on the concept pages. The track only decides the guided order and the next recommended stop.

Guided path

Follow the concepts and checkpoint moments in order.

Checkpoint cards reuse the authored challenge entries already living on the concept pages.

  1. 1Not startedNewStart here

    Reaction Rate / Collision Theory

    Keep one chemistry box visible so temperature, concentration, activation threshold, and catalysts can be read as changes in successful collisions instead of chemistry slogans.

    Start here before moving into Dynamic Equilibrium / Le Chatelier's Principle.

  2. Checkpoint 1LockedNot started

    Raise success, not just collision count

    Build a setup where the reaction is clearly fast even though concentration stays modest. Keep the threshold cue and collision pulses on so you can show that the rate rose because more collisions succeeded.

    Finish Reaction Rate / Collision Theory first. This checkpoint ties together Reaction rate through Raise success, not just collision count.

    Pause here after Reaction Rate / Collision Theory before moving into Dynamic Equilibrium / Le Chatelier's Principle.

    Dynamic Equilibrium / Le Chatelier's Principle

    Watch a reversible chemistry bench keep changing microscopically while the mixture settles toward a new balance after each disturbance.

    Create a shift, then let it rebalance

    Start from a reactant-heavy mixture, choose clearly product-favored conditions, and wait until the forward and reverse rates nearly match again while the mixture stays product-rich.

    Finish Dynamic Equilibrium / Le Chatelier's Principle first. This checkpoint ties together Reaction rate and Dynamic equilibrium through Create a shift, then let it rebalance.
