Method Details

getEmpiricalFormulaFromPercentComposition

public static String getEmpiricalFormulaFromPercentComposition(Map<Element,Float> percentComposition)
                                                        throws IOException

A method for building an empirical formula from a mapping of Elements to their constituent relative frequencies in the Compound.

Parameters:

percentComposition - A HashMap of Element objects and proportions in floating-point precision

Returns:

The empirical formula that corresponds to such a percent composition as a String

Throws:

IOException - Incase the Element object does not exist

getHydrocarbonFromCombustion

public static String getHydrocarbonFromCombustion(float CO2,
 float H2O)
                                           throws IOException

A method for building the empirical formula of a hydrocarbon given the grams of CO2 and grams of H2O formed in its combustion.

Parameters:

CO2 - The grams of carbon dioxide formed as a result of the combustion of the hydrocarbon

H2O - The grams of water formed as a result of the combustion of the hydrocarbon

Returns:

The empirical formula of the hydrocarbon

Throws:

IOException
