Stoichiometric conversions with compounds

Accepted inputs: grams, moles, and molecules

>>> from chemlib import Compound

>>> water = Compound('H2O')

>>> water.formula
'H₂O₁'

>>> water.get_amounts(grams = 2)
{'Compound': 'H₂O₁', 'Grams': 2, 'Moles': 0.111, 'Molecules': 6.685e+22}

>>> water.get_amounts(moles = 1)
{'Compound': 'H₂O₁', 'Grams': 18.01, 'Moles': 1, 'Molecules': 6.02e+23}

>>> water.get_amounts(molecules = 1.0e+24)
{'Compound': 'H₂O₁', 'Grams': 29.917, 'Moles': 1.6611, 'Molecules': 1e+24}

Balancing Chemical Reactions

>>> from chemlib import Compound, Reaction

>>> H2 = Compound('H2')
>>> O2 = Compound('O2')
>>> H2O = Compound('H2O')
>>> r = Reaction(reactants = [H2, O2], products = [H2O])

>>> r.formula
'1H₂ + 1O₂ --> 1H₂O₁'

>>> r.is_balanced
False

>>> r.balance()

>>> r.formula
'2H₂ + 1O₂ --> 2H₂O₁'

>>> r.is_balanced
True
