Advanced Stoichiometry Calculator
Instructions:
- Enter a chemical equation (e.g., "2H2 + O2 → 2H2O" or "Fe + O2 → Fe2O3" for unbalanced)
- Enter the mass of one or more reactants
- The calculator will balance the equation and determine limiting reactants and theoretical yield
Enter mass for at least one reactant:
