Chemical LaTeX typeset

GCT

I think that should do it, it's \varepsilon, unless anyone else has a better method

Hmm--what about an [tex] \xi ^\circ [/tex] ?

GCT

I think that most people will undestand that as the standard reduction potential, nevertheless I think that there's a better way to represent it though.

How could I go about using LaTeX on a word/pdf?

[TEX]Starch~\xrightarrow{amylase}~C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}[/TEX]

The best fancy 'E' I can come up with is
[tex]\mathcal{E}[/tex]
Also, let me try a few more things
[tex]\text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6\, +\, 6\text{ O}_2\, \xrightarrow{\text{heat}}\, 6\text{ H}_2\text{O}\, + \,6\text{ CO}_2[/tex]
Isn't it better without italicizing the letters?

It is, but then - not everone is fluent in LaTeX enough :)

[tex]10\textrm{K}_{4}\textrm{Fe(CN)}_{6}+122\textrm{KMnO}_{4}+299\textrm{H}_ {2}\textrm{SO}_{4}\rightarrow162\textrm{KHSO}_{4}+5\textrm{Fe}_{2}\text rm{(SO}_{4}\textrm{)}_{3}+122\textrm{MnSO}_{4}+60\textrm{HNO}_{3}+60\te xtrm{CO}_{2}+188\textrm{H}_{2}\textrm{O}[/tex]

That was exported form one of my programs :)

Best,
Borek

Is this the one you mean?

Does anyone know how to do a left-right harpoon with labels above and below, I guess like

k1
/________
_________
....k2....../

You know what I mean. I have a reaction going in two directions with a different rate constant in each.

cristo

You mean like this? [tex]\rightleftharpoons[/tex]

edit: i just saw you want labels above and below.. sorry, dont know how to do that!

Well, i found something that may help you: ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/info/...symbols-a4.pdf page 41.. although it doesnt work on here since I imagine you need some package.

Hootenanny

Try this;

[tex]\mathop{\leftrightharpoons}^{k_1}_{k_2}[/tex]

[tex]Bal^2=sqrt{C_{Gordon_10}}[/tex]
