Chemistry assumptions

Crocodile Chemistry makes the following assumptions:

• All liquids and powdered solids in a vessel are always completely mixed. No stirring is necessary.
• If a precipitate is formed in a vessel, the solid will settle out of solution.
• Gases are only simulated while they are in a vessel.
• Gases are dispersed instantly.
• Bubbles appear when a liquid is boiling, when a gas is being bubbled through a liquid or when a gas is formed in a reaction in solution. The size and rate of production of the bubbles indicates the strength of the reaction.
• Heating a liquid brings it to boiling point faster than in real life. Once boiling starts, the rate of heat flow returns to normal.
• Any chemical spilt disappears immediately.
• Gravity does not apply to parts within a scene but has an effect on chemicals within vessels.
