Physical Chemistry Equilibrium	Content Structure Real World Applications	Self-Darkening Sunglasses	Integrate applications of equilibrium along the way to draw back students' interest. For example, glasses that darken to sunglasses.
Physical Chemistry Equilibrium	Content Structure Real World Applications	Industrial Processes	Bring in industrial processes. For example, the Bayer process, which is the principal industrial means of refining bauxite to produce alumina (aluminium oxide). Talk about the conditions used for that. So how you can increase the yield of the reaction? The Bayer process is done at high... more
Physical Chemistry Equilibrium	Active Learning Student Participation	Student Definitions of Le Chatelier's Principle	Put a picture of Le Chatelier and the quote of what he said and get them all to write down what they think that means and then let them talk in groups of three and all form a new idea of what they think it means. And then a few lectures later come back and ask them to do it again. Get them to... more
