In summary, finding chemical equations based on a single reactant and product can be a challenging task. While there are some searchable databases available, they are mostly focused on organic chemistry and require a subscription to access. This may be accessible through a university if you are a student.

I'm looking for a website that suggests chemical equations based on a single reactant and product.
For example if I have C2H4 as a reactant and C2H3Cl as a product, I should get

1. C2H4 + Cl2 --> C2H3Cl + HCl

2. C2H4 + Cl2 --> C2H4Cl2
C2H4Cl2 --> C2H3Cl + HCl

Finding reactions given product and reactant is not an easy task, so while there are some searchable databases, mostly focused on organic chemistry (e.g. SciFinder and Beilstein), they are proprietary and require a subscription to access (you'd likely be able to get access through a university if you are a student, however).
 

FAQ: Looking for a website that suggests chemical equations

1. What is the best website for finding chemical equations?

The best website for finding chemical equations is ChemSpider.com. It is a free database of chemical structures and properties, and also provides tools for predicting and balancing chemical equations.

2. How do I search for a specific chemical equation on a website?

To search for a specific chemical equation on a website, you can use the website's search bar and enter the chemical formula or name of the compound. You can also use keywords such as "chemical equation" or "chemical reaction" to narrow down your search results.

3. Can I trust the suggested chemical equations on a website?

The accuracy of suggested chemical equations on a website will depend on the reliability of the source and the algorithm used. It is always best to double-check the equation and its coefficients with other reputable sources before using it for any experiments or calculations.

4. Are there any websites that provide step-by-step explanations for balancing chemical equations?

Yes, there are several websites that provide step-by-step explanations for balancing chemical equations, such as Khan Academy, ChemTeam, and ScienceGeek. These websites also offer practice problems to help improve your skills in balancing equations.

5. Can I save or print the chemical equations I find on a website?

Many websites that offer chemical equations allow you to save or print them for future reference. Look for options such as "save" or "print" on the website or use your browser's print function to save a copy of the equation.
