What this software does
The concentrations of the three components A,B,
and C are calculated for the system consisting of
two sequential non reversible first order
reactions during the specified time period, and
the resulting concentrations are displayed
graphically.
The simple reaction scheme is
A ——> B ——> C
_______________________________________________
Running the application
As a fully RISC-OS compliant application it can
be started from within the desktop by double
clicking on the !A>B>C icon in a directory viewer.
The A>B>C icon will be installed on the iconbar.
Clicking Select on this icon will open the
main dialogue box, into which you can enter your
chosen values for the rate constants for the first
and second steps (k1 and k2).
You can also enter a time (in seconds) over which
the reaction will be simulated. It is possible to
change the number of increments used to span this
time period, by simply clicking on the up and down
arrow icons.
There are three action buttons provided. The
Close button will simply close the entry dialogue.
Clear will clear all the writable icons to allow
the entry of completely new parameters. Plot will
open the graphical display.
The algorithm used does not allow equal values of
k1 and k2. The program will warn you if you
attempt to use equal values of k1 and k2.
