Reaction Equilibrium Description

Reaction Equilibrium designed as a small and simple simulation tool that manages to illustrate qualitative concepts relating to chemical reaction equilibrium. Problems in reaction equilibria are a staple of physical chemistry and thermodynamics courses, and their treatment via the formalism of the equilibrium constant is familiar to anyone with training in chemistry or chemical engineering. While the use of these tools is not difficult to learn, an intuitive understanding of the standard Gibbs energy, enthalpy, and entropy of reaction can be more elusive. Like everything in thermodynamics, they have their origin in molecular-level behaviors, and thus some understanding of them can be gained by observing molecules "react" while following Newtonian mechanics, and seeing how the emergent behavior can be analyzed using the formalism of chemical thermodynamics.
