A calculation is a deliberate process for transforming one or more inputs into one or more results, with variable change. The term is used in a variety of senses, from the very definite arithmetical calculation of using an algorithm to the vague heuristics of calculating a strategy in a competition or calculating the chance of a successful relationship between two people. Multiplying 7 by 8 is a simple algorithmic calculation. Estimating the fair price for financial instruments using the Black-Scholes model is a complex algorithmic calculation. Statistical estimations of the likely election results from opinion polls also involve algorithmic calculations, but provide results made up of ranges of possibilities rather than exact answers. Deciding the best way to build a relationship with a member of the opposite sex may also result from a calculation, but is not definite, predictable, nor even clearly defined. This indefinite application of the term gives it a second area of meaning apart from the mathematical senses mentioned above. To calculate means to ascertain by computing. The English word derives from the Latin calculus, which originally meant a small stone in the gall-bladder (from Latin calx). It also meant a pebble used for calculating, or a small stone used as a counter in an abacus (Latin abacus, Greek abax). The abacus was an instrument used by Greeks and Romans for arithmetic calculations, preceding the slide-rule and the electronic calculator, and consisted of perforated pebbles sliding on an iron bars.

Could someone please solve and explain this chemistry calculation on solutions. The problem is: 50 mL of 0.20M barium hydroxide solution is mixed with 30mL of 0.40M aluminium sulphate solution. Calculate: a) the mass of precipitate formed b) the final concentration of sulphate ions in the mixed solutions. Asked by helloandromeda - Fri May 22 10:12:07 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. 3Ba(OH)2 + Al2(SO4)3 = 3BaSO4 + 2Al(OH)3. This( I think) is the balanced equation and since barium sulphate and aluminium hydroxide have very low water solubility it s probable that all the products will precipitate out. Moles reacting: 0.050 x 0.20 barium hydroxide = 0.01 moles, 0.030 x 0.40 aluminium sulphate = 0.012 moles. The balanced equation tells us that the ratio is 3:1 0.01 moles barium sulphate reacted with 0.01 / 3 = 0.0033 moles aluminium sulphate. The aluminium sulphate was in excess. 0.01 x 171.34 = 1.71 g, 0.0033 x 342.15 = 1.13 g. Add the weights together and this will be the mass of precipitate formed = 2.84 g / answer a). MW 3 x SO4 / (171.34 + 342.15 ) = 3 x ( 32 + 64 ) / 513.49, = 288.0 / 513.5, = 0.56 or 56% /… [cont.] Answered by snurbles@everest - Fri May 22 10:44:32 2009 How do I make a calculation template in Excel ?
Q. I need to create a template with lots of calculation fields. The objective is so that a user can enter monthly information and save it but cannot change calcuation.

Asked by Free spirit - Fri Oct 20 12:17:47 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. You need to protect the cells with the calculations. It's counterintuitive, but you need to unlock all the cells where people need to enter data in order to do this. That's because all cells are "locked" by default. The lock doesn't actually take effect until you protect the worksheet though. Think of it as a deadbolt on a door. Having the cell formatted as "locked" is like having a deadbolt. The deadbolt doesn't do anything unless you actually turn the handle though; that's what protecting does. First, select the cells which users need to be able to change. If you are only worried about protecting formulas and are OK if the users change any straight data, the quickest way to do this is Edit > Go To.
