Chemical Equation Balancer

science

Balance chemical equations automatically to satisfy the law of conservation of mass.

Separate reactants and products with '->', '→', or '=', and combine species with '+'.

Common Reactions:
Balanced Chemical Equation

How Chemical Balancing Works

According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, atoms are neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. Therefore, the number of atoms of each element must remain constant. This calculator solves the underlying matrix of linear Diophantine equations to find the smallest positive integer coefficients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What if fractional coefficients occur?

Standard chemical convention requires whole-number integer coefficients. All fractional solutions are automatically multiplied by their least common multiple.
