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.

Use this track when the chemistry pilot should feel like a real branch instead of two isolated pages in the catalog. The path starts with one collision box where temperature, concentration, threshold, and catalysts all stay tied to successful collisions, then carries that particle story into a reversible bench where forward and reverse change compete on the way to a new equilibrium mix.

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.

    Equilibrium rebalance checkpoint

    Use the equilibrium challenge to confirm that forward and reverse balance still reads clearly after a disturbance before you skip the opening chemistry page.

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.

  1. 1Not startedMastery: NewStart 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

    Successful-collision checkpoint

    Pause once the chemistry story can raise the reaction rate without relying on a crowded box, so the collision-success distinction is stable before the reversible branch begins.

    Finish Reaction Rate / Collision Theory first. This checkpoint ties together Reaction rate through More success, not just more hits.

    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.

  4. Checkpoint 2LockedNot started

    Rebalance checkpoint

    Finish by building a product-favored equilibrium from a disturbed start and waiting for the forward and reverse changes to come back together honestly.

    Finish Dynamic Equilibrium / Le Chatelier's Principle first. This checkpoint ties together Reaction rate and Dynamic equilibrium through Disturb, then rebalance.

    Final checkpoint that closes the authored track after Dynamic Equilibrium / Le Chatelier's Principle.
