Simulations to complement the kinetics study in basical level
Keywords:
simulations, general chemistry, chemical kineticsAbstract
Chemical kinetics is part of the curricula of most general chemistry courses that are taught in universities. Their study presents difficulties for beginners as shown in many publications of authors who have worked on the issue. In this paper the utility of simulations to partially overcome these difficulties in the teaching-learning process are discussed and various simulation programs on the subject, developed by the author are presented. Programs can be used as complementary laboratory classes activities, problems and theory, thus contributing to the integration of these. The programs have been used by the author in training courses for teachers and students of faculty, receiving favorable reception. A copy of the installable of some programs, with their guides for the student, are available to interested readers without charge.
