Balancing chemical equations is a fairly complicated task that demands a great deal of time. And it is exactly at this point that professionals or chemistry students greatly value a tool that automatically balances their chemical equations. For this reason, we present four online tools to balance chemical equations.
All you have to do is enter your equation on the website of your choice and the platform will highlight the changes in its interface. The utilities also include additional options such as reaction type, reaction thermodynamics, calculating reaction stoichiometry, and the limiting reactant.
WolframAlpha.com
WolframAlpha is a multifunctional platform for dynamic online calculation, from which you can perform calculations on various types of data (Mathematics, Science and Technology, Society and Culture, and Everyday Life). But as far as this article is concerned, with the tool you can easily find the correct coefficients for a chemical reaction. You can do so using chemical compound formulas (symbols), typing the full name of the formula, or mixing both options.
WebQC.org
WebQC.org is a website with chemical tools, unit converters, chemical symmetry, etc. Below the chemical tools, you will find a chemical equation balancer. The platform offers three methods just like WolframAlpha (the encoding is color-coded). It also features a periodic table, from which you can calculate reaction stoichiometry and the limiting reactant.
TheodoreGrey.com
TheodoreGrey.com is a chemical equation balancer that stands out for its simplicity and practicality. The environment only accepts chemical symbols as input. The platform also gives you the balanced weight of the reactants (ideal for chemical experiments).
EndMemo.com
We will finish with EndMemo, a platform that includes a large number of educational tools and calculators for: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Literature, Health, etc. The chemical equation balancer will help you balance equations easily. To do so, you can use the periodic table, or enter an equation in the field (using chemical symbols). Then, clicking “Check” you will verify if the equation has been balanced. If the equation is still unbalanced, click “Balance” to balance it. In the results, the changes will be highlighted in colors.
With the four websites mentioned, you will be able to balance any chemical equation. All under simple and almost automatic environments.
