Reaction Rates [Unguided]

A simulation where learners explore how factors like temperature, concentration, surface area, and catalysts affect reaction rates, using visual graphs and molecular models to observe changes over time.

Lab objectives and outcomes

Students will be able to demonstrate how changes in temperature, concentration, surface area, and the presence of a catalyst individually affect the rate of a chemical reaction.
Students will be able to analyze visual graphs and molecular models to interpret the relationship between reactant conditions and the resulting reaction rate.
Students will be able to compare the effectiveness of different factors (temperature, concentration, surface area, catalyst) in altering reaction rates and predict the optimal conditions for increasing or decreasing reaction speed.
