Stoichiometric equations
Balance chemical equations
Free
Stoichiometric Equation balances chemical reaction equations for you — no trial and error, no guessing. Enter the reactants and the products, tap Balance equation, and the app returns the stoichiometric coefficients as the smallest set of whole numbers.
Balancing an equation means making sure that the same number of atoms of every element appears on both sides. For a reaction such as 2Na + Cl₂ = 2NaCl you can still do that in your head.
For e.g 3As₂S₃ + 28HNO₃ + 4H₂O = 6H₃AsO₄ + 9H₂SO₄ + 28NO, trial and error quickly stops being practical. That is exactly where this app takes over.
HOW IT WORKS
Instead of guessing, the app treats the equation the way a mathematician would: every unknown coefficient becomes a variable, the atom counts for each element become one linear equation, and the resulting system is solved with Gaussian elimination. The coefficient matrix is transformed into reduced row echelon form and the solution is scaled to the smallest whole-number coefficients. The complete derivation is included in the app, step by step, with a fully worked example — so you can not only get the answer, but also understand how it is found.
