Exploring Equilibrium A gold star indicates high-quality, inquiry-based activities that follow the PhET design guidelines.



Title Exploring Equilibrium
Description I used "Reactions and Rates" in my regular chem class in this brief activity, which also includes a non-PhET, hands-on activity. My use of the sim was for conceptual purposes only; I was hoping to attack some misconceptions about equilibrium, activation energy, and temperature's affect on equilibrium position. The PhET portion of this activity takes less than 30 minutes.
