Use this window to enter details of the reactants, products and stoichiometry. The window builds up the chemical equation for the reaction and writes this back to the Reaction Definitions Window when you push the OK Button.
Usage
You must define the molar stoichiometry of reactants and products.
Reactant Stoichiometry
Enter the stoichiometric coefficient of each reactant. Only positive numbers are allowed.
Product Stoichiometry
Enter the stoichiometric coefficient of each product. Only positive numbers are allowed. Components that you have defined as Reactants cannot be defined as Products.
Copy & Paste
Press “Copy” to copy all the data from the corresponding grid.
Click in a cell and then press “Paste”, the external multi-cell data will be pasted into the grid starting from that cell. If there is any negative data in the external data, all the negative data will go to Reaction Stoichiometry grid, and all the positive data will go to Product Stoichiometry grid.
Reaction Definition
Choose the style in which the equation will be written back to the Reaction Definitions Window.
Select Use Formula for a write-back using the formulae of the reactants and products.
Select Use Name for a write-back using the names of the reactants and products.
How to get to this window
The Reaction Data - Reaction Components window is accessed by pushing the Definition text on the Reaction Definitions Window.
