Abstract

This study analyzed the understanding of first-year students on the concept of chemical equilibrium. It involved 30 first-year students in the faculty of mathematics and natural sciences of Universitas Negeri Padang. The students' understanding was explored using a conceptual test. The result shows that generally, students have misconceptions about the concept of chemical equilibrium especially when the reaction reaches equilibrium as reported by many studies. The results of this study have implications for the lecturers in planning the general chemistry learning process, especially on the chemical equilibrium topic. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
