Molecular weight calculator.


Having lurked around here for some time I thought I could give something back.

This is a excel sheet that contains macros to calculate molar mass.

For the suspicious amongst us, I have left the macros unprotected. This enables you to load the sheet without macros enabled and look at the code to check it's not malicious.

There are 2 useable macros GetElement() and GetMolarWeight(). To use them, look at the examples on the sheet.

Mike.

Just curious, does nobody find this useful?

Is it because it's an excel spreadsheet?
Is this something readily available elsewhere?
Would it be more useful if it was a stand alone program?

As I said, just curious as I thought this would be something that people would find useful.

Mike.

Yes, such a thing is quite useful. I have written my own program some time ago for doing this (and much more). The program balances equations, but it can also be used for simply computing molar masses. It is a standalone Windows program and requires no setup at all.

http://woelen.scheikunde.net/science/chem/chemeq/index.html

For simply computing molar masses type the molecular formula in the left column and in the right column. I intend to modify the program such, that it also allows simple MW-computations, if the right column is left empty.

Yet another

chemical equation balancing

program - does it all. Molar mass calculation, equation balancing, stoichiometry, limiting reaagents, plus n=CV and pV=nRT calculators to facilitate calculations including solutions and gases.

Simple application for calculating mol mass


Hi, Here is a small application written in Delphi for calculating molecular masses. Dont worry, no spywares/viruses...

Have fun and distribute freely

LCS is a chemistry and data analysis program. LCS isn't a chemistry education program. It's a program for your daily laboratory work. LCS supports an enormous range of chemical, numerical und statistical functions. I believe, you´ve never seen such a comprehensive chemistry program as FREEWARE.

LCS is a Windows 3.1 program, but it works under Windows95/98 and Windows NT, too. You can use LCS on PowerMacs with the Virtual PC 3.0 emulator. LINUX users can use the WINE windows emulator for LCS.

This is a short overview about the basics of LCS. Additional,
LCS includes a huge english ONLINE-help for every subject of LCS.

Hardware requirement:
---------------------

- min. 486DX33 / 8MB RAM / 640*480 16 colors or higher
(386/40 4MB is possible, too)

Graphic resolution: 1024*768/256 colors will be great

- min. 3 MB free harddisc space

Copyright : see file COPYRGHT.TXT
---------------------------------

Installation:
-------------

Copy LCS_E121.ZIP from my website.

The program LABORANT.EXE will start LCS. Decompress the the ZIP file in your destination directory. Start Laborant.,exe in the folder LCS_ENGL.
LCS is a very stable program. If your LCS is unstable, please read the file BUGS.TXT for BWCC.DLL/BC450RTL.DLL bug fixing.

INDEX:
