The purpose of this program is to be able to quickly
and accurately obtain the molecular weight of a given
formula. MacFormula allows you to find either the
average mass or the exact mass. You would find the exact
mass, for instance, if you wanted to know what to expect
from a high resolution mass spectrum.
You also have the option of performing an elemental
analysis on your inputted formula. I think the usefulness
of this feature is self-explanatory.
Finally, you are also able to input the number of
milligrams of a given substance and calculate how many
millimoles it would be. This function is also reversable.
I use this feature quite often in the lab when I am doing
a reaction and I quickly want to know how much 5 mmoles
would weigh (for instance).
