This study was aimed to analyze the students' chemical literacy on context based chemical equilibrium learning. This research used quantitative approach with survey method. A total 92 students of 11th grade from two public high schools in Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia were selected using the purposive sampling technique. The data were collected using open-ended questions namely Chemical Equilibrium Literacy Test (CELT) to analyze the students' chemical literacy ability in the topics of coral reef, hypoxia, teeth enamel, and ammonia production. CELT used 3 indicators of Higher-Order Learning Skills (HOLS) on chemical literacy, namely identifying the information, connecting the information and analyzing information. Data from CELT was analyzed using ideal rating category. The result of this study showed that only one third of the sample that has a good chemical literacy ability on the context-based chemical equilibrium learning. This study suggests that the context-based learning process should be always applied to school in order to improve the students' chemical literacy ability better. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
