The essence of education is to educate people, and the main goal of education is to educate on people how to think and make people not only have perfect personality, but also have strong learning ability. The teacher is the best person to complete education. Based on self-perception theory, the teacher guided students to finish the derivation of the Gibbs-Duhem (G-D) equation in order to strengthen the students’ internal incentive. With a new establishment of partial molar quantity and set formula, students promoted their thinking ability and solidified internal incentive with a sense of achievement. The logical establishment process of the G-D equation was used to supplement this currently widely used derivation process by heuristic teaching method. The system conditions to which the G-D equation applied and the nature of its zero-degree homogeneous function were the key to understanding the derivation process. The derivation was carried out along the route of induction-deduction-induction, highlighting the training of thinking. Students’ internal incentive not only strengthened their innovative ability, but also provided the conditions for their future success, which played a very important role in serving the society.
