Question, whats the best chemistry software for a college student?

AI Thread Summary
For chemistry software, ChemDraw is recognized as the standard for drawing chemical compounds. Users are also seeking software that can handle a variety of applications, including analyzing NMR spectra, searching reaction databases, and calculating molecular properties. Spartan is recommended for its capabilities in thermodynamic and quantum mechanical calculations, highlighting that while standard math programs like Mathematica are powerful, they may not be tailored for specific chemical calculations. The discussion emphasizes the need for specialized software to effectively manage complex chemical equations and analyses.

I currently have Mathematica, and Polymath Edu for my math stuff, but what's an equivalent software program for Chemistry?

What do you want the chemistry software to do? For drawing chemical compounds, ChemDraw is the standard. For other applications (analyzing NMR spectra, searching reaction databases, calculating properties of molecules, etc.), other software is needed.
 
Yeah^ The ladder. Like, is there software that can do thermodynamic equations, or other type of chemical equations?
 
Why can't you do these calculations in your standard math programs like mathematica?
 
Have you looked into Spartan? It's great for thermodynamic and quantum mechanical calculations.
 

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
