Abstract

This study aims to analyze the potential of some representations in overcoming misconceptions about the concept of chemical equilibrium. In this study using research and information gathering, the first stage conducted is related to articles relating to misconceptions that exist on the concept of chemical equilibrium, obtained in chemical equilibrium, then carried out an analysis of 14 articles, which cite misconceptions on chemical equilibrium, from this article a misconception that is often found is that the rate of the forward reaction is not the same as the rate of back reaction. From this collection of articles, 5 general chemistry textbooks were then reviewed, which presented the concept of chemical equilibrium for multiple representations, to overcome the misconceptions associated with the articles that were analyzed previously. The results obtained from general chemistry textbooks with several representations are able to overcome misconceptions derived from article analysis and can help students visualize the observed concept changes. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
