(1) To open the equation editor, click the icon that says “Insert Math Equation” (looks like a square root symbol). Editor opens in Basic View by default. (2) Pressing left parenthesis will automatically put in the right parenthesis after that, and you’ll be able to type anything inside the parentheses. (3) The “Basic” menu has the functions for subscripts, superscripts, fractions, and normal math operations (4) The “Greek” menu allows you to put in Greek letters. If you want to type something in isotopic notation, you will need the Advanced View.  Click the link that says, “Switch to Advanced View”. (5) You will have to type what you want in a special code, using symbols to indicate superscript and subscript.  Don’t use spaces. ^ for superscript _ (underscore) for subscript use squiggly brackets { } after the ^ and _ symbols if multiple characters are to be superscripted or subscripted. after inserting the equation, you can resize by clicking on the equation, and dragging on one of the corners to make the equation smaller or larger Example:  ^{cats}_{dogs}eat^{food!}                     results in

A particular pharmaceutical drug requires four reactions, back to back, to synthesize in a lab.  You perform each of the four reactions, and obtain the percent yields for each reaction as shown below.  If the percent yield for the overall multistep synthesis is 21.6%, what was the percent yield of reaction 4?   Reaction 1:  81.5% yield Reaction 2:  71.9% yield Reaction 3:  96.4% yield Reaction 4:  ?  (calculate this)
