General chemistry programs at universities around the world often focus on learning from the first and second school year, in which knowledge of thermodynamics plays a fundamental role in studying the theory of chemical processes. Although it is learned early at universities that train chemistry students, but with the content is difficult and complex when developing the application of thermodynamic principles to chemical processes occurring in closed systems to research chemical equilibrium, has caused many students to lose their learning direction, leading to not good academic results. In order to overcome those difficulties, we designed a learning project based on the CDIO teaching mode to guide students in forming project ideas, project design, project implementation and operation. Through the project, students will easily access thermodynamic issues to evaluate a chemical process occurring, creating a strong motivation for students to research chemistry.
