Chemistry Balancer Skill

Balances chemical equations and calculates stoichiometric ratios, molar masses, and theoretical yields.

Usage

python3 -c "
# Molar mass of H2O
H, O = 1.008, 15.999
print(f'H2O molar mass: {2*H + O:.3f} g/mol')
"

Examples

• "Balance Fe + O2 -> Fe2O3" -> Provides balanced equation 4Fe + 3O2 -> 2Fe2O3
• "Calculate molar mass of glucose" -> Sums atomic masses for C6H12O6
• "How much product from 10g reactant?" -> Calculates theoretical yield

Guidelines

• Always verify atom counts on both sides after balancing
• Show coefficients clearly in the balanced equation
• Include state symbols (s, l, g, aq) when relevant
