do charge conservation normalization in a network-independent way

[BenWibking]

Since the electron abundance normalization depends on the charge of all of the species, it should be moved into the network-specific files in Microphysics, or somehow re-written so it does not assume the species and their charges, as it does currently:

quokka/src/Chemistry.hpp

Line 104 in 033e4f3

chemstate.xn[0] = -chemstate.xn[3] - chemstate.xn[7] + chemstate.xn[1] + chemstate.xn[12] + chemstate.xn[6] + chemstate.xn[4] +

I think this is better done in Quokka rather than Microphysics.

Ok. Is there a way to have it compute what the normalization should be in a way that works for any network?

[psharda]

yeah, we can store the charge of each particle in an array that the user can fill in the input file?

[BenWibking]

@psharda you do this now, right? If so, I'll close this issue.

[psharda]

yes, its done in microphysics via AMReX-Astro/Microphysics#1646
