Stoichiometric conversions with compounds
Accepted inputs: grams, moles, and molecules
>>> from chemlib import Compound
>>> water = Compound('H2O')
>>> water.formula
'HโOโ'
>>> water.get_amounts(grams = 2)
{'Compound': 'HโOโ', 'Grams': 2, 'Moles': 0.111, 'Molecules': 6.685e+22}
>>> water.get_amounts(moles = 1)
{'Compound': 'HโOโ', 'Grams': 18.01, 'Moles': 1, 'Molecules': 6.02e+23}
>>> water.get_amounts(molecules = 1.0e+24)
{'Compound': 'HโOโ', 'Grams': 29.917, 'Moles': 1.6611, 'Molecules': 1e+24}
Balancing Chemical Reactions
>>> from chemlib import Compound, Reaction
>>> H2 = Compound('H2')
>>> O2 = Compound('O2')
>>> H2O = Compound('H2O')
>>> r = Reaction(reactants = [H2, O2], products = [H2O])
>>> r.formula
'1Hโ + 1Oโ --> 1HโOโ'
>>> r.is_balanced
False
>>> r.balance()
>>> r.formula
'2Hโ + 1Oโ --> 2HโOโ'
>>> r.is_balanced
True
