Substance
(Particle) Palette. This
palette contains buttons for 14
elements
and 18
compounds
that you can place in
either the
Substance
Region or the
Small
Particle Region. In the
Substance Region, the substance appears as a
pile
(Fig.
1). In the Small
Particle Region, the substance appears as a
particle
(Fig.
2). You can also place one mole of a substance in the input chutes of the Substance Analyzer and Substance Reactor, or place one particle in the input chutes of the Particle Analyzer and Particle Reactor. Use the arrows on the right of the palette to scroll through the six rows of substance buttons. The table below the simulator indicates the substance associated with each button. The table layout is the same as that of the substance palette. In addition to the substances shown in this table, you can create an additional 12 compounds in the Chemistry Reactor Simulator using either the Substance Reactor or the Particle Reactor. Substance Region: A substance pile is an unlimited source of the substance. From one pile, you can use the unit volume, unit mass, and molar scoops to extract as many mililiters, grams, and moles of the substance as you wish. You cannot place a pile on the balance, in the water container, in the thermal container, or in the input chutes for the Substance Analyzer or Substance Reactor. Small Particle Region: You can treat a particle of a substance as a single particle, but with the particle scoop, you can also extract additional particles of a substance from one particle. You can put a particle on a particle balance or into a micro water container. To place a particle in the input chutes for the Particle Analyzer or Particle Reactor, you need to use the particle scoop. Properties Boxes: The Properties Box of a substance pile, particle, or scoop shows the name and symbol of the substance, the amount of a substance (scoops only), the chemical composition (compounds only), and the density, solubility, melting temperature and boiling temperature of the substance. Substances X, Y,
Z: The three mystery substances.
All the properties of the substance are hidden by default.
By double-clicking on the buttons for X,
Y or Z and using the
Security
feature of the Properties
Box, you can choose a new
material (element or compound) for these three
mystery substances. |
