Easy Molar Mass Calculator

Submitted by Anonymous on 8 November 2005 - 2:38am.

I actually wrote this program when I was a sophomore in high school, which was before I found this site, so the molar masses of individual elements may not reflect the WebElements periodic table exactly. All the same, it's highly accurate.

To operate the calculator, just open the program. The periodic table is set up in the form of buttons, one per element. Click on the button of an element once for each time it is used in a formula, and in a text box at the bottom will be the mass of 1 mole of that substance. Click Clear to clear the box (don't just delete the contents).

In the unlikely case that you use an old (c. 2000) version of Norton or perhaps any version of AVG Anti-Virus, the program may come across as a virus. Ignore it.

Technical reason these scanners pick up the program: this program was compiled with Rapid-Q, which compiles to an interpeter EXE with some sort of P-code tacked on. One kind soul wrote a virus in Rapid-Q, and the definitions for this virus in the aforementioned scanners is based on the header section of the virus's EXE instead of what makes the program unique, which happens to be the code common to every Rapid-Q EXE in existance. In essence, it detects fundamental aspects of a Rapid-Q EXE and declares it a virus. So don't worry; it's not really a virus.

The URL for the program (needs Winzip or similar):
rpi.edu/~devina/fmc.zip

I know you don't want to get

I know you don't want to get into a debate here, but maybe there is a posibility to post it to a web based Foreign national financingapplication?
I have a PHP programmer friend, let me know if you'd like to have a chat, just trying to help.

That is a good one. Another

That is a good one. Another online Molar Mass Calculator is here:

Though, personally I think the one provided here by Soggy9 is good too. C'mon everyone, if he wanted to spread a virus he would put it in something other than a molar mass calculator!

I suppose you don't know. I'd tell you to take my word for it, but I'm not going to debate this because:

    a. I haven't the energy to
    b. I already explained why the program would ever generate a false positive with an antivirus program above
    c. I know the program is legitimate and that's good enough for me
    d. I know I am not a virus writer and that's good enough for me
    e. It's hosted on a my college's server, where anything viral will probably be immediately deleted
    f. To anyone on this website I appear not as a person but rather as impartial text, so nothing I type will ever really change anyone's mind

I only posted this program because I needed a tool to rapidly calculate molar mass and I'm almost positive other people need to do the same. By all means, feel free to not trust me; it's not imperative that you download this program.
