Interactive Demo
Kinetics Rate Analyzer
Kinetics Rate Analyzer is a free, interactive learning demo from the AP Chemistry course on Lykke. It helps you build intuition for Reaction Rates, Introduction to Rate Law, Concentration Changes Over Time, Elementary Reactions. Play with it directly in your browser — it features 3 buttons, direct drag interaction and a live visual canvas. This demo lives in the “Unit 5: Kinetics” section of the course.
How to use this demo
- Click and drag directly on the canvas to manipulate the scene.
- Use the “Order 0”, “Order 1”, “Order 2” buttons to trigger actions or reset the demo.
- Experiment freely — there's nothing to break, and every change is reversible.
What you'll explore
- Reaction Rates
- Introduction to Rate Law
- Concentration Changes Over Time
- Elementary Reactions
- Collision Model

Frequently asked questions
What does the Kinetics Rate Analyzer demo do?
Kinetics is the study of reaction rates. This unit explores the factors that influence how fast a reaction occurs and the microscopic pathways (mechanisms) reactions follow. Kinetics Rate Analyzer turns that idea into something you can manipulate directly and watch respond.
What AP Chemistry concept does Kinetics Rate Analyzer teach?
Kinetics is the study of reaction rates. This unit explores the factors that influence how fast a reaction occurs and the microscopic pathways (mechanisms) reactions follow. It focuses on Reaction Rates, Introduction to Rate Law, Concentration Changes Over Time, Elementary Reactions, Collision Model, Reaction Energy Profile from the “Unit 5: Kinetics” section.
What can I control in Kinetics Rate Analyzer?
You can drag elements directly on the canvas; the “Order 0”, “Order 1”, “Order 2” buttons run actions or reset the demo. Every change updates the visualization in real time, so you can see exactly how each variable affects the outcome.
How does Kinetics Rate Analyzer fit into the AP Chemistry course?
AP Chemistry is a college-level course designed to provide students with a foundation in chemical principles through inquiry-based investigations and nine core units of study. The curriculum emphasizes four 'Big Ideas'… This demo is the interactive piece for the “Unit 5: Kinetics” section.

What will I understand better after using Kinetics Rate Analyzer?
You'll build intuition for Reaction Rates, Introduction to Rate Law, Concentration Changes Over Time, Elementary Reactions, Collision Model, Reaction Energy Profile — and, crucially, see how they behave when you change the inputs, which is hard to get from a textbook or lecture on AP Chemistry alone.
