StoichKit

A toolkit for stoichiometry.

Features

• balance: Balances a chemical equation
• yield: Calculates percent yield
  • given a fully balanced chemical reaction, and respective masses (in grams)

Usage

```$xslt $ stoichkit --help stoichkit 0.2.0

USAGE: stoichkit

FLAGS: -h, --help Prints help information -V, --version Prints version information

SUBCOMMANDS: balance
help Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s) yield ```

$ stoichkit yield "2*Al" 2.8 "3*Cl2" 4.25 "2*AlCl3" 4.889 Yield: 0.91756254 $ stoichkit balance Al Cl2 = AlCl3 2 Al + 3 Cl2 = 2 AlCl3

Installation

1. Clone this repo
2. With cargo installed, run cargo build --release
3. Run ./target/release/stoichkit or copy that binary to a bin folder.

stoichkit equation balancer uses the nalgebra-linalg solver, which requires a BLAS installation.

On macOS BLAS can be installed via brew install openblas.

Roadmap

• [x] Accept all reagents and determine limiting reagent.
• [ ] Add desktop GUI (maybe)
• [x] Use StoichKit to power a web UI (stoichkitweb available here)
• [x] Implement chemical equation balancer
• [ ] Test linear algebra suite on other platforms
