Resumen:
During our courses at the Faculty of Chemistry (Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico) to teach chemist's students the fundamentals of chemical engineering, we are faced with the problem of explaining the different variables involved in a process. For instance, one of the most important purification methods used in the petrochemical industry is distillation. If the students can comprehend how molecules interact between them and with other compounds, they can acquire the basic knowledge to understand the way of separating different products using a distillation tower. The use of Molecular Modelling is an extremely powerful tool to bring key concepts to the students in a very simple way, explaining the complex transformations in everyday phenomena.
