2D Reaction Kinetics Gas Chamber

2D canvas gas-chamber kinetics: reactant molecules bounce and collide in a flat box, crossing an Arrhenius activation-energy barrier to convert to product as you tune temperature, activation energy and molecule count, with a live rate readout.

This 2D companion runs the same Arrhenius collision kinetics as the 3D original on a flat canvas: reactant molecules bounce inside a bordered box, and when two of them collide with enough combined energy to clear the activation-energy barrier Ea, they convert to product. Temperature sets how fast the molecules move and how often collisions clear that barrier, so raising it visibly speeds up the color change from blue (reactant) to orange (product) while the rate-constant and fraction-reacted readouts track the reaction live.

⚙ Under the hood

2D Arrhenius gas-chamber kinetics: molecules collide in a flat box and convert to product once a collision clears the activation-energy barrier, with live rate-constant, fraction-reacted, speed and collision-rate readouts.
