chem-calc 0.0.3

A package to calculate various stoichometric features of compounds.

chem_calc

The module chem_calc calculates chemical and physical properties based on the stoichometry of a chemical compound.

The 20+ available properties (or features) used in this package are elemental properties from the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics as well as the NIST X-ray Mass Attenuation Coefficients Database.

Methods

• how_many -- Returns the number of atoms in a given chemical formula.

>>> import chem_calc
>>> chem_calc.chem_calc('H2O').howmany

• total -- Returns the feature total for a given chemical formula.

>>> import chem_calc
>>> chem_calc.chem_calc('H2O',feature='atomicweight').total
18.014710000000001

• avg_feature -- Returns the average value of a property for a given chemical formula.

>>> import chem_calc
>>> chem_calc.chem_calc('H2O',feature='atomicweight').avg_feature
6.0049033333333339
