Abstract

A concept test was administered to college students and teachers to identify their understanding of chemical equilibrium and equilibrium shift. The subjects were 53 freshmen in the General Chemistry class, 28 juniors in the Physical Chemistry class and 26 seniors from a university and 10 high school teachers in Seoul. Test items include the calculations of partial pressure and concentration of the gas in the mixture, the equilibrium constant cal-culation and the prediction of equilibrium shift when an inert gas is added to the gaseous reaction system, and the equilibrium concentration calculation and the prediction of equilibrium shift when water or common ion is added to the weak acid solution. The test was focused to identify whether the subjects can predict equilibrium shift using the reaction quotient change for the situations in which Le Chatelier principle is difficult to apply. The results showed that the achievements of teachers and juniors were significantly higher than those of freshmen and seniors. Many stu-dents had difficulties in predicting equilibrium shift using the reaction quotient while they could calculate partial pres-sure and concentration for the same situation. It means they are lack of conceptual understanding of chemical equilibrium shift.

본 연구에서는 화학평형과 평형이동에 관한 대학생들과 교사들의 개념형성 정도를 조사하기 위하여 개념검사 문항을 이용하여 서울지역 대학교 1학년 학생53명, 3학년 학생 28명, 4학년 학생 26명과 고등학교 교사10명에게 지필검사를 실시하였다. 개념검사 문항의 ?뼁育?기체의 부분압력과 농도 계산, 기체상 반응의 평형상수 계산과 비활성 기체 첨가에 의한 평형이동, 약산 수용액에서의 농도 계산과 물 또는 공통이온 첨가에 의한 평형이동에 관한 것으로 르샤틀리에 원리의 적용이 어려운 상황에서 반응지수의 변화를 이용하여 평형이동 방향을 예측할 수 있는가에 초점을 두었다. 응답 내용을 분석한 결과, 교사와 물리화학을 배운 3학년 학생들의 정답률이 일반화학을 배운 1학년 학생들이나 물리화학을 배운지 1년 정도 지난 4학년 학생들보다 유의미하게 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 선수 개념인 부분압력과 농도 계산에 대한 정답률은 높았으나 이와 동일한 조건에서 화학평형이동 방향을 예측하는 문항의 정답률은 낮게 나타나 계산 능력보다는 반응지수를 이용한 평형이동의 예측에 대한 개념 형성이 부족한 것으로 드러났다.
