React pH output


Benjamin

Recommended Posts

Is there a way, using GSS/React, to add a reactant to every sample in a GSS spreadsheet and have the resultant pH output in a separate column of the spreadsheet? Or, alternatively, is there a way to extract only the final pH from a React output file? I need to perform thousands of calculations, so it isn't practical to go into every file and copy and paste the final pH into a spreadsheet.

Hi,

 

I can think of two ways to do this. The first is to prepare a control script to read data from a tab-delimited text file, perform your analyses with React, then pull selected results from React back into the text file. Appedix G (Multiple Analyses) in the GWB Reference Manual includes an example of this using SpecE8. You would use React instead and include a command like "react 5 moles HCl" or whatever reactant you're adding to each sample. To get your data from GSS into a tab-delimited text file, just go to File - Save As and select Text (tab delimited). For more on control scripts, see Appendix F (Control Scipts).

 

Another idea would be to launch React from GSS for all of your samples at once. You can insert a trailer command like "react 5 moles HCl" that will be appended to the input prepared for React for each sample. You would then need to write a script of some sort that would search for pH in each output file. For more info, see section 3.5 in the GWB Essentials Guide.

 

Hope this helps,
