Calculation Modes in the Chemical Calculator

The current version of the chemical calculator includes eight calculation modes:

1. Element Properties:
   No calculations may be performed in this mode, which contains a database of element properties. The molar mass of each element is used in mole conversion calculations.

2. Element Pair:
   Only a few calculations are carried for a selected pair of elements in this mode. For example, you can calculate the degree of ionic character.

3. Formula:
   In this mode you can calculate the percentage composition, constituent formula, and formula mass from the written chemical formula.

4. Calculate:
   The Calculate mode is most useful in carrying out unit and mole conversions.

5. Reaction Stoichiometry:
   Most of the standard reaction stoichiometric calculations are quickly and easilty carried out in this mode: writing and balancing equations, limiting reagents, theoretical yield, etc.

6. Solution Stoichiometry:
   This mode extends the reaction stoichiometric calculations to cover solutions.

7. Empirical Formula:
   The subscripts of the "trial" empirical formula, calculated from the empirical anaysis data, may be manipulated until a satisfactory empirical formula is discovered.

8. Salt Solubility:
   The solubility behavior of some 600 salts can be explored.
