Release of Version 3.1 ...

CheMentor 3.1 is now available for both Macintosh and PC's running Windows95.

New features are the addition of a new menu system and the Empirical and Molecular Formulae module.

The new menu system allows you to easily move betweem modules and programs and in multi-step problems allows you to branch out from a larger problem to work on related skills. Read more about the menu system.

The new Empirical and Molecular Formulae module uses a database of about 720 compounds - organic and inorganic. It can create data for problems using mass composition and combustion analysis data 'on the fly'. This, along with the installed base of percentage composition problems, provides a very large number of possible problems.

Each problem has its own set of Help menu items - tailored to the data provided and the required answer. You can select help at any step in the problem by choosing an item from the Help menu. This takes you to a new screen where you can link to help outlines (using the 'How' button, for instance) and find a rationale for what is being done (using the 'Why?' button). You can also 'Peek' at the expected answer(s) for that particular step in the problem. And, you can also 'Peek' at the final answer to the problem

You can try out the Empirical and Molecular Formulae module on-line.
