Reaction Data Model

What is this model?

This is a set of experimental data for a series of chemical reactions. It tracks the concentrations of reactants and products for four different reactions over the course of 100 time steps. Since reactions are not guaranteed to occur at precisely the same rate every time, this model includes data for four repetitions of the experiment for each of the reactions. The data in this model is already generated, so there are no parameters to manipulate; instead, users attempt to determine what the parameters used to generate the data were.

What can this Model be used to teach?

  • Understand what it means to say that a reaction goes to completion or goes to equilibrium
  • Understand how to model the concentrations of reactants and products mathematically
