Chemical Equilibrium Walkthrough

Watch reactions run forwards and backwards at the same time, see why the amounts stop changing, and learn to predict what a reaction does when you push on it. Every idea is shown in the flask, at the particle level, and in symbols. Go at your own pace. Nothing here is graded.

Use the left and right arrow keys to move between steps. Practice next in the Chemical Equilibrium Lab. Particle counts are tiny samples, reactions are sped up so you can watch them, and K values are typical textbook values at the temperatures shown.
