SUMMARY

Wolfram Alpha is a powerful computational tool that can be utilized for chemical equations, providing balanced reactions and energy changes. For instance, entering "HCl + NaOH" yields the result "NaCl + H2O" along with energy information. Similarly, "C6H12O6 + O2" translates to "6CO2 + 6H2O," demonstrating its capability to handle complex chemical reactions. Users seeking detailed chemical analysis can also refer to additional resources like Chembuddy for further assistance.

PREREQUISITES

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
