This repository contains the source code for ChemBalance, a web application built with vanilla JavaScript (TypeScript) that allows users to dynamically balance chemical equations in a fun calculator-like environment.
you can play with it here.
| Shortcut | Description |
|---|---|
| ⇧ + 0 | Clear all elements (AC) |
| ⇧ + 1 | Compute coefficients to balance the equation |
| ⇧ + 2 | Copy the balanced equation to clipboard |
| ↑ or ↓ | Select the upper/lower element |
Some Keys function differently wheter the focus is on table or on console.
| key | Table | Console |
|---|---|---|
| Enter | Add selected element | balance the equation |
| ← or → | Select previous/next element | Move cursor to left/right |
- Formulae and elements are enclosed within brackets:
[].
[H O*2]- Multiplication is denoted using
*.
[Cl*2][Al [O H]*3]- Charges are indicated using
^.
[O H]^-1- Equations are constructed using
+(reactants) and⇒(products).
[2*Al [S O*3]*3] + [Na O H] ⇒ [Na*2 S O*3] + [Al [O H]*3]- Free electrons are represented using
-.
[H*2 O] + [Mn O*4]^-1 -1 ⇒[Mn O*2] + [O H]^-1- Setting a default coefficient on a formula:
[H*2] + 1*[O*2] ⇒ [H*2 O]
