• Abstract:

  Students at different levels of education usually have notable learning difficulties regarding the concepts and accounts that permeate the disciplines of chemistry, biology and mathematics. An example of an interdisciplinary topic covering the areas mentioned is the concept of a buffer solution. In order to minimize any remaining conceptual deficiency on the part of students and the public working in industries and laboratories, the project aims to create an online and interactive platform, where users can have access to the explanation of the theoretical contents that permeate the theme of buffer solution, in addition to interacting with an online calculator that, through information entered by visitors, will generate solution preparation data and will show the effects of adding an acid or a base, ionic strength and temperature in the calculations. The results will be presented with the necessary explanations, so that the user can instantly observe how the accounts are performed. The elaboration of this project is very relevant, since the calculations involved in the buffer solution are usually carried out in a simplified way, without correction of the errors added by the change in temperature and ionic strength of the medium. The proposal is based on the availability of free and quality content to a large number of people outside the academic community, enabling the IFRJ to carry out an effective scientific dissemination, in addition to promoting an active learning methodology to the students involved in the elaboration of the project, which permeate the concepts of chemistry, mathematics, biology, programming and design.
