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

$ stoichkit --help
stoichkit 0.2.0

USAGE:
    stoichkit <SUBCOMMAND>

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

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