Chemical Equation Balancer
Balance chemical equations and identify reaction types with step-by-step explanations.
Usage
Provide an unbalanced chemical equation and I'll balance it and explain the process.
Examples
- "Balance: H2 + O2 -> H2O"
- "What type of reaction is NaOH + HCl -> NaCl + H2O?"
- "Balance the combustion of methane"
Guidelines
- Atoms must be conserved on both sides of the equation
- Start by balancing the most complex molecule first
- Save hydrogen and oxygen for last
- Check your work by counting atoms on each side
- Coefficients must be whole numbers in the final answer
