Interactive Demo
Thermodynamics: Enthalpy & Heat Flow
Thermodynamics: Enthalpy & Heat Flow is a free, interactive learning demo from the High School Chemistry course on Lykke. It helps you build intuition for Enthalpy, Endothermic vs. Exothermic, Specific Heat, Hess's Law. Play with it directly in your browser — it features 4 sliders, 1 button and a live visual canvas. This demo lives in the “Thermodynamics and Energy” section of the course.
How to use this demo
- Drag the “Mass of Surroundings (Water) 100g” slider to change the inputs and watch the result update live.
- Use the “Run Reaction” button to trigger actions or reset the demo.
- Experiment freely — there's nothing to break, and every change is reversible.
What you'll explore
- Enthalpy
- Endothermic vs. Exothermic
- Specific Heat
- Hess's Law
Frequently asked questions
What does the Thermodynamics: Enthalpy & Heat Flow demo do?
The study of heat, work, and energy changes in chemical systems. Thermodynamics: Enthalpy & Heat Flow turns that idea into something you can manipulate directly and watch respond.
What High School Chemistry concept does Thermodynamics: Enthalpy & Heat Flow teach?
The study of heat, work, and energy changes in chemical systems. It focuses on Enthalpy, Endothermic vs. Exothermic, Specific Heat, Hess's Law from the “Thermodynamics and Energy” section.
What can I control in Thermodynamics: Enthalpy & Heat Flow?
The “Mass of Surroundings (Water) 100g” slider change the key inputs; the “Run Reaction” button 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 Thermodynamics: Enthalpy & Heat Flow fit into the High School Chemistry course?
The Client Challenge course is a comprehensive High School Chemistry curriculum meticulously aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). It guides students through eleven core units, beginning with the fu… This demo is the interactive piece for the “Thermodynamics and Energy” section.
