Physics Classroom is making strides to make our site accessible to everyone. Our site contains 6 navigation areas. The Primary, Secondary, and Page Level navigations have a screen reader version of their nav structure that allows using the left and right keys to navigate sibling navigation items, and up or down keys to navigate parent or child navigation items. The others can be navigated using tabs. The Primary Navigation handles the first 2 levels of site pages. The Secondary (which is not always available) handles the 3rd and 4th level of structure. The Page level navigation allows you to navigate the current page's headings quickly. The Header Navigation contains the Light/Dark Mode toggle, Search, Notifications and account login. The Breadcrumb Navigation contains the breadcrumb of the current page. If the current page has a breadcrumb, you can get to it by skipping to the content and tabbing in reverse (shift plus tab). The Footer Navigation contains links such as Privacy, Contact, about and terms. Some resources contain an Audio Player that can be activated by holding down the T key for 3 seconds, and then using K to pause and resume. While not every area of Physics Classroom is usable purely from keyboard and screen reader, we are committed to continue work on making this possible. If you have questions or need additional help, please use this link to contact us.

Interactive - Kinetics and Equilibrium

See how modifying things such as temperature and pressure, and reactants can make an impact.

Activities

The Ammonia Factory

You've been assigned the job of running the production line at the ammonia factory. Your goal is to identify the design parameters that will increase the daily yield of ammonia. You can modify reactor temperatures and pressures and the nitrogen and hydrogen flow rates and observe the effect upon percent yield, daily ammonia production, your carbon footprint, and safety risks. Get started quick because your job ends in 180 days. Good luck!

The Ammonia Factory
Red-Blue Equilibrium

Reversible systems always reach an equilibrium state, regardless of the starting conditions. But what is true of this equilibrium state? How can it be recognized? And how does the system respond if the equilibrium state is disturbed by the addition or removal of reactant or product?

The Physics Classroom would like to thank Nerd Island Studios for contributing this Interactive to our collection.
