A user-friendly interface to computer programs for the determination of the characteristics of equilibrium systems from physicochemical data

A graphical user interface to programs for the determination of equilibrium parameters from physicochemical data (GOLEM) has been developed. The program converts input data written in a common chemical language into the algebraic form required by the programs that do actual computations. This includes translation of chemical equations into algebraic form and building up the history of the preparation of solutions. The program works on PC/DOS platforms and in the current version prepares the data for the program STOICHIO (J. Kostrowicki, A. Liwo, see Comput. Chem., vol.11, no.3, p.195, 1987) which determines the stoichiometry and equilibrium constants from physicochemical measurements.
