chemformulapy 1.0.0

A Python package for parsing and working with chemical formulas

chemformulapy

A lightweight Python package for parsing, analyzing, and working with chemical formulas.

chemformulapy provides tools to:

• Parse chemical formulas into structured representations
• Compute molar masses
• Work with chemical elements and their properties
• Generate chemically intuitive formula orderings

---

🚀 Features

• 🧪 Parse formulas like H2O, C6H12O6, KNO3, H2SO4
• ⚖️ Calculate molar masses using built-in element data
• 🔬 Access element properties (atomic number, molar mass, electronegativity)
• 📐 Chemically intuitive ordering of elements
• 🧩 Extensible design using enums and descriptors

---

📦 Installation

pip install chemformulapy

---

⚡ Quick Start

from chemformulapy import Element

oxygen = Element.O
print(oxygen.name)
print(oxygen.mass())

---

🧠 Use Cases

Molar Mass Calculation

from chemformulapy import parse_formula

formula = "H2O"
mass = parse_formula(formula).mass()
print(mass)

---

Chemical Formula Parsing

compound = parse_formula("C6H12O6")
print(compound.elements)

---

Element Property Analysis

from chemformulapy import Element

carbon = Element.C
print(carbon.value)

---

📥 Example Scripts

molar_mass_calculator.py

from chemformulapy import parse_formula

formula = input("Enter chemical formula: ")
compound = parse_formula(formula)

print(f"Molar mass of {formula}: {compound.mass()} g/mol")

---

element_lookup.py

from chemformulapy import Element

symbol = input("Enter element symbol: ")
element = Element[symbol]

print(f"Atomic number: {element.number}")
print(f"Molar mass: {element.mass}")
print(f"Electronegativity: {element.eneg}")

---

formula_parser_demo.py

from chemformulapy import parse_formula

formula = "H2SO4"
compound = parse_formula(formula)

print("Parsed formula:", compound.elements)

---
