Summary
This paper describes an on-line interactive computer program that enables users to perform thermodynamic calculations by entering chemical equations and defining variables such as temperature and pressure. The data used in the calculations are automatically retrieved from a large data base. The scope of the program makes it possible to perform a very wide variety of calculations in which reactant and product compounds may be at different temperatures, pressures, and activities.
