<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333a44; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Every chemist occasionally has to do some simple calculations, like concentration conversion, finding pH, or solving a complicated stoichiometric problem. When these problems are easy, they are waste of time. When they are harder, quite often they get too difficult to solve on paper - that is especially true in case of pH calculations involving several dissociation equilibria. This is when software can save you time and frustration.
