chemeq 0.1.7

Package capable of balance chemical equations and contains the most used portion of the periodic table of elements.
The package has two objects: chemeq and periodic_table.

1. chemeq

  CLASS, Receives a string representing a chemical equation as input.
  In the shape: "reactant_1 + ... + reactant_n = product_1 + ... + product_n".

  The chemeq CLASS has three properties and one method.

   is_balanced : Property. Boolean (True or False)
   reactants  : Property. pandas.DtataFrame where each row represents one of the reactants (left side)
         compounds, molecular weights and elements.
   products   : Property. pandas.DtataFrame where each row represents one of the product (right side)
         compounds, molecular weights and elements.
   balance()   : Method. Balances the equation if it is unbalanced.

2. periodic_table

  pandas.DataFrame containing a portion of the periodic table of elements contains: Z, name, symbol, atomic mass,
  atomic mass error, period, group & state.

  Source for the periodic table of elements:
  IUPAC - International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry
  https://iupac.org/what-we-do/periodic-table-of-elements/

LIMITATIONS

• Does not include Rare earths, synthetic elements, Radon, Francium & Radium.
• Intermediate prefixes like those from hydrates such as Cu(SO4)•5H2O
    must be represented with subindexes like Cu(SO4)(H2O)5.

EXAMPLES

  >>> from chemeq import chemeq
  >>> eq = chemeq("C2H5(OH) + O2 = CO2 + H2O")
  >>> eq.is_balanced
  False

The balance status of the equation is also visible in the equation object itself.

  >>> eq
  <Unbalanced equation: "C2H5(OH) + O2 = CO2 + H2O">

To balance the equation invoke the balance() method

>>> eq.balance()
  >>> eq.is_balanced
  True
  >>> eq
  <Balanced equation: "C2H5(OH) + 3O2 = 2CO2 + 3H2O">

Example of its properties

  >>> str(eq)
  "C2H5(OH) + 3O2 = 2CO2 + 3H2O"
  >>> eq.reactants
     coefficient   formula  C  H  O  Mass(g/mol)
  0            1  C2H5(OH)  2  6  1       46.069
  1            3        O2  0  0  2       31.998
  >>> eq.products
     coefficient formula  C  H  O  Mass(g/mol)
  0            2     CO2  1  0  2       44.009
  1            3     H2O  0  2  1       18.015</pre>

An equation can be created with their indexes to test if it is balanced. If it is not it can be balanced later.

>>> eq = chemeq("CuS + 8HNO3 = CuSO4 + 8NO2 + 4H2O")
  >>> eq.is_balanced
  True
  >>> eq = chemeq("73CuS + 73HNO3 = 11CuSO4 + 11NO2 + 11H2O")
  >>> eq.is_balanced
  False
  >>> eq.balance()
  >>> eq
<Balanced equation: "CuS + 8HNO3 = CuSO4 + 8NO2 + 4H2O">
