Balance any equation with exact math — steps, matrix, ions, hydrates, molar mass.
Arrows: ->, = or → · Charges: Fe^3+ or Fe3+ · Electrons: e^-
Chemical Equation Balancer finds the smallest whole-number coefficients for any chemical equation using exact fraction math, shows the element matrix and elimination steps, supports parentheses, hydrates, ions and electrons, and includes a molar mass calculator with percent composition — all offline in your browser.
Balance any chemical equation in the browser using exact rational arithmetic — no floats, no rounded coefficients. Type an equation like C3H8 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O and get the smallest whole-number coefficients instantly, together with the full element-conservation matrix, the Gauss-Jordan elimination trail that produced the answer, and a verification pass over every element. It understands nested parentheses Ca(OH)2 and Fe2(SO4)3, hydrated salts like CuSO4·5H2O, ionic species with charges such as Fe^3+, SO4^2- and electrons e^-, and warns you when an equation is impossible to balance or underdetermined (missing H⁺/H₂O/e⁻ in a redox reaction). A second tab is a molar mass calculator: type any formula and get the molar mass in g/mol plus a percent-composition breakdown per element. Everything runs locally on your device — nothing is uploaded.
Chemical Equation Balancer computes exact whole-number coefficients for complex chemical equations locally in the browser using rational arithmetic. It provides transparent step-by-step Gauss-Jordan elimination matrices, handles specialized inputs like ions and hydrates, and includes an integrated molar mass and percent composition calculator without requiring software installation or accounts.
Good to know: Underdetermined equations require manual inclusion of balancing species like H⁺, H₂O, or electrons, and extremely advanced computational chemistry workflows may require specialized modeling software.
Learn how to balance any chemical equation, view the step-by-step Gauss-Jordan elimination matrix, and calculate molar mass instantly using exact rational arithmetic.
