This is a lua module to use the Periodic Table
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| locate(I,W,O) | I: Type of element to be searched W: Element to be searched O: Property to return |
| table | List of all elements in the periodic table and their attributes |
| mass(...) | Accepts any number of tables with the first value being Symbol of Element and the second being the number of particles |
| Compound:new(t) | Makes new Compound. t is a table contaning tables in the format of {Element=Number of Elements} |
| Compound.mass | Mass of Compound |
| Compound:percentageByMass(Element) | Returns percentage by mass |
| Compund:getAmount(args) | parameter return specifies property to return grams or moles and other parameter is given property |
| mergeCompound(...) | Merges any number of Compounds and returns 1 Compound |
| Compound:merge(Compound) | Merges self with a compound then returns it |
| Compound:ef() | Returns empirical formula of compound |
| Compound:string() | Returns string of value |
| idealgaslaw(args) | Table with values for temperature in kelvin, pressure in pascals, volume in cubic metres and amount of substance in mols Output can be any of these values |
--Example
local Elements=require("Elements")
--prints the symbol for Silver
print(Elements.locate("Name","Silver","Symbol"))
-- returns Ag
print(Elements.mass({"H",2},{"O"}))
-- prints 18.015
water=Elements.Compound:new{{"H",2},{"O"}}
-- makes new compound
print(water.mass)
-- prints 18.015
print(water:percentageByMass("H"))
-- prints 0.11190674437968
print(water:getAmount{grams="36.03",returnValue="moles"})
-- prints 2.0
MgO=Elements.Compound:new{"Mg","O"}
CO2=Elements.Compound:new({"C",{"O",2}})
MgCO3=Elements.mergeCompound(MgO,CO2)
print(MgCO3.mass)
-- prints 84.313
MgCO3=MgO:merge(CO2)
print(MgCO3.mass)
-- prints 84.313
Nicotine=Elements.Compound:new{{"C",10},{"H",14},{"N",2}}
print(Nicotine:ef())
-- returns table in the form {{"C",5},{"H",7},{"N",1}}
print(water:string())
-- returns H20
print(Elements.idealgaslaw{mols=1,temperature="273.15",pressure=100000,output="volume"})
-- returns 0.002271095641486
