UN MÉTODO PARA ENSEÑAR EL PORQUÉ SUCEDEN LAS REACCIONES QUÍMICAS

A methodology is proposed for explaining one of the central questions in the teaching of general chemistry courses to freshman students: why do chemical transformations occur? The answer to this question is based on thermodynamics but we propose arriving at an answer in a more intuitive way by using computational tools in a bid to increase the motivation of students for learning chemistry.
