Abstract
A computer graphics (CG) teaching material of the esterification of acetic acid and ethyl alcohol was made based on the quantum chemistry calculation. The CG teaching material could simultaneously display realistic shapes and electrostatic potentials of the molecules on the way from the state of reactants to that of products. The teaching material could demonstrate images of dynamical reaction mechanism of the esterification. We have integrated the teaching material with the laboratory manual of chemical experiments for University students to develop an electronic textbook. The textbook in the tablet PC could display not only experimental procedure but also the reaction mechanism by the CG teaching material.
