Inconsistent use of <chem>

Your recent edits of chemical formulae are inconsistent. A specific example from Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory:

(nowiki) Another example is furnished by substances like [[aluminium hydroxide]], Al(OH)3. : Al(OH)3 + OH− ⇌ {{chem|Al(OH)|4|−}}, acting as an acid : 3H+ + Al(OH)3 ⇌ 3H2O + Al3+(aq), acting as a base

Another example is furnished by substances like aluminium hydroxide, Al(OH)₃.

Al(OH)₃ + OH⁻ ⇌ Al(OH)⁻
₄, acting as an acid

3H⁺ + Al(OH)₃ ⇌ 3H₂O + Al³⁺(aq), acting as a base

The inconsistency can lead to characters which should be the same size on the screen being different sizes (though not in this instance, on my screen).Petergans (talk) 13:08, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I only use the templates for chemical reactions, I don't change the reaction itself, in maths for example, we use this templates and have same results.Lordthe6 (talk) 19:48, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine, but it's not the issue that I raise. The issue is inconsistency in in the way the <chem> works.You can see this in the following excerpt.

(Source code : Al(OH)3 + OH− ⇌ {{chem|Al(OH)|4|−}}, acting as an acid :<chem>H2O + H2O <=> H3O+ + OH- </chem>)

Al(OH)₃ + OH⁻ ⇌ Al(OH)⁻
₄, acting as an acid

{\ce {H2O + H2O <=> H3O+ + OH-}}

This inconsistency arises from the way that <chem> works. The result is ugly and possibly misleading. What is the cause the difference?Petergans (talk) 11:54, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you have a point, I apologize the fact is that I finish the change rigth now, in the another change was incomplete. Lordthe6 (talk) 16:00, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. May I suggest that in future if you want to make many changes to an article, that you do them first in your sandbox. This will make it easier to make corrections if any are needed. Petergans (talk) 09:22, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
