Heat it up. Pack it in. Watch it react.

Adjust temperature and concentration to see how particle speed and density control how fast a reaction really happens.

Controls

Change conditions and observe the rate.

Higher temperature = faster particles = more frequent, harder collisions.

More particles in the same space = more chances to collide.

A higher barrier means only the fastest collisions succeed.

Why temperature matters

Raising temperature gives particles more kinetic energy. They move faster and collide more often — but more importantly, a greater share of those collisions now has enough energy to overcome the activation barrier and react.

Why concentration matters

Higher concentration means more particles in the same volume. With more A and B molecules around, the odds of a collision go up proportionally. Double the concentration, double the collision frequency.
