Substance Reactor. Located in the Substance Region, this device allows the user to combine elements into one of the compounds available in the Substances Palette, or one of the additional compounds that you can form in the Chemistry Reactor Simulator. To place substances in the Substance Reactor, click on substance buttons respresenting elements or use the substance (molar) scoop, and click on the Reactor's input chutes at the top (left figure below). To get the elements to react, click on the Run button. The output appears in the output bin (middle figure). With Select depressed, you can move the output out of the bin (right figure) and analyze the output using the simulator's other tools. |
To clear the contents of the Reactor, depress Select and click on the red button. Note. If the substances in the input chutes cannot combine to form one or more of the compounds in the Substances Palette, a warning appears that says These substances will not react with each other. In some cases, this warning appears even if the substances can react, simply because the substance is not included in the Substances Palette. Example: Ammonia (NH3).
