Chemistry Problems 1.0

The software (for Windows 98 and later) generates instantaneously and continuously new situations and data to be inserted in numerous problems related to the various topics that are traditionally part of a basic Chemistry course ( Basics; Elements and Compounds; Stoichiometry; Gases, Solids and Liquids; Solutions; Thermodynamics and Kinetics; Chemical Equilibrium; Electrochemistry). In each case, the software also calculates the corresponding solutions and shows them when prompted. Problems and solutions can be printed to pre-formatted text files, allowing to prepare personalized problem lists of any length and complexity. The software can be considered like a shelf containing a practically infinite set of Versions of a book of Chemistry Problems. Each version differs from all others, and the student can freely select at each moment one version or another. In any case, whatever the version is, the student can always regenerate the problem under study with new data at random (but obviously compatible with the problem text), returning to the original problem of the version in use whenever desired. Various difficulty Levels can be selected, from the Basic Level (corresponding to the base preparation required for beginners) to the Excellent Level (a student capable of solving all problems of this level in various versions is certainly very well trained in basic Chemistry). When a level has been selected, the software shows only problems of difficulty lower or equal to that of the chosen level. The level can be changed at any moment.

The software features a number of useful Tools, such as an advanced Calculator, a Plotting tool, a Balancer of chemical reactions and a Visualizer of simple molecular structures. It also includes some Simulations of idealized laboratory experiments (Gas laws, Equilibrium systems and Acid/base titrations) and a few Games, devised in such a way to help fixing in mind the fundamental concepts of Chemistry.
