Balancing Chemical Equations

Balancing Chemical Equations is yet another educative application designed to help students and other science-savvy individuals better understand the chemistry-related concept of balancing equations. The idea of the program is to explain that even though a chemical substance is formed out of a number of elements, even if separated, these elements would still contain, when added, the same molecules as the original substance.

The idea explained above relates to how elements around us subscribe to the concept of conserving mass. This means that no elements are ever wasted. Each component that enters a certain chemical reaction will somehow transform into something else, never being left out of the equation. In a much rather simplified version, you could say that whatever enters the equation should come out in one form or another out of the same equation.

Aside from explaining the idea behind the Conservation of Mass using three simple examples; Ammonia, Water, and Methane, one can also learn the importance of balancing chemical equations, understand and describe the meaning of coefficients and subscripts, and the most important aspect, to convert chemical representations from symbolic to molecular levels. The application is great teaching material for any type of audience and is greatly helped by visual aids that neatly fit in the whole explanation.

Balancing Chemical Equations might not have much functional value, but in terms of educating a group of people, it manages to double if not triple its value. Its simplicity not only makes it per se approachable, but the domain it's tied to as well. Regardless of the project or exam, you are studying for, if balancing chemical equations is somewhere on the to-do list, this application can help you master this particular sector, giving you a boost right from the beginning.
