Chemical LaTeX typeset

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

 Quote by GCT I think that should do it, it's \varepsilon, unless anyone else has a better method
Hmm--what about an $$\xi ^\circ$$ ?
 Recognitions: Homework Help Science Advisor 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]
 [TEX]Starch~\xrightarrow{amylase}~C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}[/TEX]
 The best fancy 'E' I can come up with is $$\mathcal{E}$$ Also, let me try a few more things $$\text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6\, +\, 6\text{ O}_2\, \xrightarrow{\text{heat}}\, 6\text{ H}_2\text{O}\, + \,6\text{ CO}_2$$ Isn't it better without italicizing the letters?
 Admin It is, but then - not everone is fluent in LaTeX enough :) $$10\textrm{K}_{4}\textrm{Fe(CN)}_{6}+122\textrm{KMnO}_{4}+299\textrm{H}_ {2}\textrm{SO}_{4}\rightarrow162\textrm{KHSO}_{4}+5\textrm{Fe}_{2}\text rm{(SO}_{4}\textrm{)}_{3}+122\textrm{MnSO}_{4}+60\textrm{HNO}_{3}+60\te xtrm{CO}_{2}+188\textrm{H}_{2}\textrm{O}$$ That was exported form one of my programs :) Best, Borek -- Chemical calculators at www.chembuddy.com equation balancer and stoichiometry calculator pH calculator concentration conversion
 $$^{14}N~+~^{1}n~\xrightarrow~~^{1}H~+~^{14}C$$
 $$V=\frac{k_2[E]_t[S]}{K_M+[S]}$$

 Quote by bomba923 Yes!! What is the symbol for it? (the fancy capital E thing)!!?? Is it on LaTex??
$$\in$$

Is this the one you mean?
 Try this guy: $\mathcal{E}$

 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.
 Mentor You mean like this? $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 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.

$$\mathop{\leftrightharpoons}^{k_1}_{k_2}$$
 $$Bal^2=sqrt{C_{Gordon_10}}$$
