The Datum Edit Dialog is used to add or edit an individual datum listed in the Solubility Data Dialog and the Solubility All Data Dialog. The dialog is activated by clicking the left mouse button on a row in the data table control or selecting a row and pressing the Edit button.
The Datum Edit Dialog enables you to enter values for the solvent, temperature, pressure, datum, and supporting information.
|
1
|
Solvent Control: enables you to enter the solvent's name. |
|
2
|
Previous Button: if a previous datum is present, pressing this button enters the name of the previous datum's solvent. |
|
3
|
List Button: activates the Choose Solvent Dialog which lists the chemicals present in the current document. Selecting a chemical inserts its name into the solvent control. |
|
4
|
Temperature Control: enables you to enter the datum's temperature. |
|
5
|
Temperature Accuracy Control: enables you to enter the accuracy of the entered temperature value. |
|
6
|
Units Control: enables you specify the units in which the temperature was entered. |
|
7
|
Pressure Control: enables you to enter the datum's pressure. |
|
8
|
Pressure Accuracy Control: enables you to enter the accuracy of the entered pressure value. |
|
9
|
Units Control: enables you specify the units in which the pressure was entered. |
|
10
|
Value Control: enables you to enter the datum's solubility value. Note that two special 'qualitative' values are valid entries. See below for documentation. |
|
11
|
Value Accuracy Control: enables you to enter the accuracy of the entered solubility value. |
|
12
|
Units Control: enables you specify the units in which the solubility value was entered. |
|
13
|
Molarity Density Control: enables you to enter the solution density which will be used to convert molarity values into common units. See the molar units documentation for details. |
|
14
|
Molarity Density Units Control: enables you to enter the units in which the solution density is given. |
|
15
|
Enter Ratio Button: enables you to enter solubility in various weight ratio units. See below for documentation. |
|
16
|
Reference Control: the Reference control enables you to enter the identifier of the reference from which you obtained the property's datum value. You can type in a value or use the dropdown list to select a recently entered value. Entering a reference is optional but highly recommended. |
|
17
|
List Button: pressing the List button displays the Reference Selection dialog. This dialog enables you to select the identifier of any reference in the current document. (See the All Entities dialog documentation for more details on selecting references.) |
|
18
|
Comments Control: the Comments control enables you to enter general information to better describe the entered value. Very often comments document the date of entry, the name of the person who entered the value, or assumptions about the entered value. |
|
19
|
Date, Phrase, Set Buttons: these buttons provide standard operations to help you enter comments. Pressing the Date button inserts the current date and time into the comment control. Pressing the Phrase button inserts the stored 'common phrase' into the comment control. Pressing the Set button enables you to change the 'common phrase'. (See documentation on the Set Phrase dialog for details. |
|
20
|
Show Ref Button: pressing the Show Ref button will display the document associated with cited reference. The location of this document is stored in the reference's Document Location Section. |
In addition to a numerical solubility value, you may also specify two qualitative values: High and Low. These values can be used to capture solubility measurements reported as 'highly miscible', 'completely soluble', 'pratically insoluble'.
To select a qualitative value, click the drop down control at the right of the value control. You may also type in the words 'High' or 'Low' in the value control but the capitalization must be exactly as shown here.
Pressing the Enter Ratio button activates the Mass Ratio Dialog. This dialog enables you to enter the mass of solute and solvent, i.e., the weight ratio of the two chemicals. The dialog also enables you to create a comment to document the conversion.
|
1
|
Solute Mass Control: enables you to enter the mass of the solute. |
|
2
|
Solvent Mass Controls: enables you to enter the mass of the solvent. |
|
3
|
Units Control: enables to select the ratio units of the entered masses. |
|
4
|
Comment Control: enables to enter text primarily to be used to document the conversion. |
|
5
|
Form Cmnt Button: automatically forms a standard comment from the entered values and units and insert this comment into the comment control. |
After you enter values into the Mass Ratio Dialog and press the OK button, the application will convert the entered values in a weight percentage and enter it into the solubility value control. Any comment text entered into the Mass Ratio Dialog's comment control will be appended to Datum Edit Dialog's comment control.
