Mole v1.0 Readme by Mike Lieberman ---------------------- Well, this is my second published TI-83 BASIC program. My other one was Ghetto Fighter (it took a lot longer than this program). Here's how I came up with the idea of creating this program: one day I'm sitting in my chemistry class, where we were doing all kinds of stuff with moles. For those of you not taking chemistry, this program will probably be useless to you. Anyway, I'm sitting there, getting annoyed 'cause I have to remember the formulas for converting mass -> volume, number of molecules -> mass, etc. Then I had an idea: what if I just wrote a program where you type in the data (mass, atomic mass, etc.) and it does the answer for you? Eventually, I decided to write a program, creatively named "Mole." The program takes you to the "Mole Menu," the starting point for all calculations. There are seven possible actions: 1. Mass of sample --> Number of Atoms or Molecules 2. Number of Atoms or Molecules --> Mass of sample 3. Mass of sample --> Volume of sample 4. Volume of sample --> Mass of sample 5. Number of Atoms or Molecules --> Volume of sample 6. Volume of sample --> Number of Atoms or Molecules 7. Quit If you've chosen 1-6, the program will then go on to ask you the data necessary for calculating the answer. According to the usage of the mole you will have to input the following data (you should know this from chemistry, but I'll put it in to avoid confusion): NOTE: In the program, A SLASH DOES NOT MEAN DIVISION! IT MEANS "or"!! (like "ATOMIC/MOLECULAR", when inputting the mass in AMU or gram-atoms) 1. Mass of the Sample in Grams Atomic Mass of the Element in the Sample OR Molecular Mass of the Compound in the Sample 2. Number of Atoms in the Sample OR Number of Molecules in the Sample Atomic Mass of the Element OR Molecular Mass of the Compound 3. Mass of the Sample in Grams Atomic Mass of the Element OR Molecular Mass of the Compound 4. Volume of the GAS in the Sample in Liters Atomic Mass of the Element OR Molecular Mass of the Compound 5. Number of Atoms in the Sample OR Number of Molecules in the Sample 6. Volume of the GAS in the Sample in Liters 7, obviously, quits. -------------------------------------------------- Afterword to the story: I got an A in Chemistry. I hope you enjoy to this program (to whatever extent chemistry is enjoyable).
