What Can You Do with Wolfram Alpha in Chemistry?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around finding a chemistry equivalent to Wolfram Alpha, specifically for chemical reactions. A user inquires if there is a tool that can input chemical equations like HCl + NaOH and output the products, such as NaCl + H2O, along with energy changes. They also mention a second example with glucose and oxygen, seeking similar outputs. Suggestions include using Wolfram Alpha itself and a link to Chembuddy, which provides resources for chemical reactions. However, there is a caution that the process may not be as straightforward as desired, indicating potential complexities in obtaining accurate results.

Dear PF Forum,
Do anybody know the 'Wolfram Alpha' for chemistry?
For example.
If I enter: HCl + NaOH
The website will produce something like
HCl + NaOH -> NaCl + H2O (+ or - energy would be preferable)
or if I enter: C6H12O6 + O2
The website will produce something like:
Do you mean: C6H12O6 + 6O2
-> 6CO2 + 6H2O (+ energy will be preferable)
Thanks for any help

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
