Presently the pH meter on the machines have a higher accuracy than normal to help players accumulate. Highly impure compounds are liable to affect your reaction too thus it is prudent to set your pH before reacting, as an overly impure reaction will drag the purity down of all other reagents with it. The pH range is something chemists often have to learn over several reactions, and the ChemMaster 3000 analyse function can give an insight into what pH you should be aiming for (Not in yet). As a reaction progresses, it's likely the pH will begin to drift, and must be compensated for either with buffer reagents or acidic/alkaline compounds. The pH of a beaker determines how pure a product is, for the recipes with a given pH, you want to have your pH at the centre of the limits when the reaction starts. The pH of the beaker is the sum of the pHes in the mix. Finally, one other alternative is to use Tempomyocin on a reaction to suddenly give it a boost.Įvery chemical has an innate pH, which can be seen by pressing the cog on the dispenser. The easiest way to speed a reaction up is to heat the reaction up, but if you're looking for other ways, such as for plumbing, having an optional catalyst (such as Palladium synthate catalyst for medicines) at its required volume will also speed it up. The rate in which a reaction heats up is faster the hotter it is, be careful to not lose control, and run if you do. An overheated reaction will reduce the yield of your reaction by default, and other reactions can have specialise effects when they get too hot (not in yet, but soon!). Care should be taken for the Exothermic reactions, as they are liable to overheat. As a reaction occurs, it is either Exothermic (heat producing) or Endothermic (heat consuming). If a chemical is reacting too slowly, simply heat the beaker up to speed it up. There's an achievement too if you complete it with a 100% purity product!Īll reactions that are non-instant have a reaction rate tied to the temperature of a beaker. Meth has been tweaked - and it's a tad more dangerous, since it becomes more exothermic the less pure it is and meth explodes if it gets to 380k so be careful out there Walter!.įor a quick crash course in mechanics, the help button on the chem heater (now renamed the reaction chamber) will get you up to speed by guiding you through a calomel reaction.

Keep your pH within 5-9 and bare in mind most reactions are exothermic now meaning they generate heat when reacting, dangerous when using certain explosive chemicals opposite is for endothermic reactions. It's important to note that the basic reaction is a one size fits all while each reaction is updated over a batch of updates, so it's unlikely that they'll cause too much trouble for you.

In general Purity is tied to the purity of your reagents, and how far away from optimal your pH is. In general reaction rate is tied to temperature and in some cases the presence of an optional catalyst. 8.1 Optional catalysts for ALL medicine reactionsįor returning players - reactions now work over time.2.5 High-performance liquid chromatography machine (HPLC).
