Collision theory simulation

Particles of A and B move and collide; only collisions with enough energy react. Change the conditions and watch the rate change.

Learn rates of reaction properly

StudyAI writes clear notes on any topic you study, with practice quizzes, past-paper questions explained, and interactive models like this one in the notes.

Questions students ask

Why does increasing temperature increase the rate?

Particles move faster, so they collide more often, and a much larger share of collisions have at least the activation energy.

How does a catalyst work?

It provides an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy, so more collisions are successful. It is not used up.
