Talk:Stoichiometry
From Academic Kids
This article has used different markup styles:
- 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O
- 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O
Both styles are typographically inadequate. I tried to fix the right arrow with → with the following result:
- 2H2 + O2 → H2O
which isn't rendered quite right in my browser (IE 6.0)—the arrow is on the baseline instead of "hyphen height". (The problem seems to be that the arrow is centered vertically on the whole line, which is pulled down by the subscripts. For example, H→O does look right.) Finally, I have decided to switch to TeX markup
- <math>2\,\mbox{H}_2+\mbox{O}_2\to2\,\mbox{H}_2\mbox{O}<math>
in the hope that this satisfies everybody.
