Chemistry Everyday for Everyone
Equilibrium Principles: A Game for Students
Lionel J. Edmonson Jr. and Don L. Lewis
Bee County College, Division of Science, 3800 Charco Road, Beeville, TX 78102

Cover
April 1999
Vol. 76 No. 4
p. 502

Abstract
The laboratory exercise is a game using marked sugar cubes as dice. The game emphasizes the dynamic character of equilibrium. Forward and reverse rate-constant values are used to calculate an equilibrium constant and to predict equilibrium populations. Predicted equilibrium populations are compared with experimental results.
Supplement
A report sheet for Egame is available as a pdf file that can be accessed using Acrobat Reader or as a Microsoft Word document, which has been compressed into sit (for Macintosh) and zip (for Windows) files.

Chemistry Teacher Connection

The "Chemistry Teacher Connection" (CTC) is especially for high school chemistry teachers. For only $40/year, it offers an online-only subscription to CLIC along with membership in the Division of Chemical Education, normally $65/year. CTC subscribers receive access to all articles and supplements from 1996 through the current issue.


C&EN CLICs

Through special arrangement with the ACS, JCE High School CLIC is now able to provide subscribers with online access to Chemical & Engineering News articles that have been selected specifically for secondary science instructors and their students.
