Distillation Column for a gas law

Built for educators teaching it to a class. Drop a live demo into a lecture or assign it as a shareable link — no lab installs. Simulate a gas law live below — adjust the inputs and watch it respond, right in your browser.

Chemical Equilibrium (Le Chatelier)Live
A (reactant)0.67 M
B (product)1.33 M

Controls

A reversible reaction A ⇌ B settles where forward and reverse rates balance. Add reactant or raise temperature and watch the equilibrium shift to relieve the stress.

Governing equation

Reading this result: Effective K is near 1, so A and B coexist in comparable amounts and a small stress can tip the balance either way.

Ideal Gas Law (PV = nRT)Live
Pressure

kPa (1.03 atm)

Controls

Set moles, temperature, and volume — pressure follows from PV = nRT. Compress the volume or heat the gas and watch the pressure climb.

Governing equation

Reading this result: At 300 K, 1 mol in 24 L, PV = nRT gives about 103.9 kPa (1.03 atm). Mean molecular speed scales with the square root of temperature, so this gas moves about 1.00x as fast as it would at 300 K. Around room temperature the molecules carry moderate kinetic energy. Expanding the volume spreads the molecules out, lowering the collision rate and the pressure.
