Chemistry.reactions.acid_base module

This module provides the tools to simulate an acid base reaction.

class Chemistry.reactions.acid_base.AcidBase(acid, base, cond)

Bases: Chemistry.reactions._reactions._Reaction

Performs an acid base reaction.

Parameters:

acid : Acid

The acid in the reaction.

base : Base

The base in the reaction.

cond : Conditions

The reaction conditions.

Notes

This class makes some pretty heavy assumptions about the type and format of the data being passed to it. Should generally not be called directly, but instead from the middle layer between interface (command line or GUI) and the underlying framework.

Attributes

conditions	The Conditions object for the reaction.
acid	The acid in the reaction.
base	The base in the reaction.

Methods

react()

Performs the actual acid-base reaction.

acid

The acid in the reaction.

Notes

The acid passed to the constructor may not be the one treated as an acid for the reaction; acidic conditions may affect the outcome.

base

The base in the reaction.

Notes

The base passed to the constructor may not be the one treated as an base for the reaction; basic conditions may affect the outcome.

conditions

The Conditions object for the reaction.

Notes

It is assumed that all necessary information for the reaction will be provided within this object (except the acid and base).

react()

Performs the actual acid-base reaction.

Returns:

Products, EquilibriumProducts

The products of the reaction.

Notes

Current implementation is incomplete and only accurately describes a small fraction of acid-base reactions

Module contents

This is the reactions package of the simulator app. It contains all of the necessary code to describe reaction objects and their processes.
