Balancing Chemical Equations

CSEF · 2002 Mathematics & Software

Overview

Objectives/Goals Can an Algorith be created to efficiently balance a chemical equation? My objective is to create an algorith capable of accepting input, in the form of a chemical equation, from the user and be able to balance the equation. Methods/Materials 1 IBM compatible computer 1 Borland Turbo C++ Compiler 1 Windows XP Operating System Results After completing the test chemical equations I found that my algorithm, using a matrix, successfully balanced chemical equations. Conclusions/Discussion My conlusion is that I was able to create an algorithm, incorating a matrix, that is able to balance chemical equations.

Summary statement

My project is a program that balances chemical equations.

Help received

Professor Rick Yunke for help with coding the program; Dr. Satish Reddy for providing equations to test my program.
