💡 How to Use
- Use = or → to separate reactants and products
- Separate multiple substances with +
- Supports parentheses in formulas, e.g., Ca(OH)₂, Al₂(SO₄)₃
- Supports ionic equations with + and - charge notation, e.g., Fe³⁺ as Fe+3
- Use standard subscripts: glucose = C6H12O6
- Balancing uses linear algebra method for mathematical precision
🔬 Common Reaction Types
- Synthesis: A + B → AB (e.g., H₂ + O₂ → H₂O)
- Decomposition: AB → A + B (e.g., CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂)
- Single Replacement: A + BC → AC + B (e.g., Fe + CuSO₄ → FeSO₄ + Cu)
- Double Replacement: AB + CD → AD + CB (e.g., NaCl + AgNO₃ → AgCl + NaNO₃)
- Redox: Electron transfer reactions (e.g., KMnO₄ + HCl)
- Acid-Base Neutralization: Acid + Base → Salt + Water (e.g., HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O)
