Abstract
Post-shock abundances of 105 chemical species are followed after the passage of a 10 kms-1 shock through an interstellar cloud of initial density 104 cm-3. We find significant enhancement in the column densities of H, H2O, NH3, and HS. The column densities of most ions decrease in abundance by rather large factors.
