JavaScript Programs To Calculate Thermodynamic Properties Using Cubic Equations of State is a set of programs that can help your students get past the complexity of these equations so they can understand their significance. These programs calculate results from student input and then explain how the calculations were made. Students can quickly vary a parameter and observe its influence on the results without having to repeat laborious mathematical calculations.

Furthermore, using these programs, students can quickly compare the results from several alternative mathematical models with the same parameters. By observing and comparing the results of several approaches, students are less likely to believe that there is “one best equation” that should be applied in all circumstances.

JavaScript Programs To Calculate Thermodynamic Properties Using Cubic Equations of State is appropriate for all levels of undergraduate chemistry. Refer to the accompanying article in this issue of the Journal for more information about how these JavaScript applications can be used to help your students.

You can find JavaScript Programs To Calculate Thermodynamic Properties Using Cubic Equations of State and the entire JCE WebWare peer-reviewed collection of the JCE Digital Library Only @ JCEOnline.
