Chemical Equation Expert

A computer equipped with the right applications can greatly enhance every domain of activity or field of expertise. As such, chemistry makes no exceptions, and a computer greatly comes in handy because of accuracy and processing speed. For thorough calculus, Chemical Equation Expert is a suitable example of environments proper for research, eliminating the risk of human error when calculating and saving you some time.

The application uses little of your system's resources, thus being usable on a wide array of configurations. Running it brings up a pretty compact window, but cleverly organized in tabs, providing quick access to all functions and intuitive requirement fields or helpful tooltips and text boxes.

What's missing though, is a manager to store data, calculus, expressions and products in. There is a virtual one which you can only browse through if you're looking for a specific product or reactant through the integrated search engine. The total number of elements is displayed, you can add more, but the list is inaccessible, nor can it be exported.

On the other hand, enthusiasts and researchers shouldn't consider this an issue, because knowledge is one of the main requirements to properly receive results. There are two powerful calculators you can take advantage of, one used to balance equations while the other calculates mass or amount in grams and mole respectively.

As mentioned above, each tool is quickly accessed through the dedicated tab. A preview section is available in each one, generating corresponding data along with helpful text. There's also a report tool, which is merely a simple text editor where you can take notes.

Sadly, you cannot paste data in the report view, so you need to write observations manually. In terms of export options, you can save or print it on a sheet of paper, the latter also being available for the equation balancing and library search tool.

To sum it up, Chemical Equation Expert is not your professional approach on chemistry, but the calculators it comes equipped with serve their purpose well enough to live up to expectations. Although export options are rather poor, as is the library, it can save you some time otherwise spent manually doing all the calculus for balancing, as well as considerably reducing the risk of error.
