What Our Free Chemistry Balancer Can Do

It does more than balance. It shows the coefficients and explains how each side is made equal.

Balances Any Equation

Enter an unbalanced reaction and get the correct coefficients on both sides.

Step-By-Step Working

See how the atoms are counted and matched, not just the final answer.

All Reaction Types

Synthesis, decomposition, combustion, replacement, acid base, and redox.

Balance From A Photo

Snap a picture of your equation and let the balancer read and solve it.

Instant Results

Get the balanced equation in seconds, any time of the day or night.

Free And No Sign Up

Balance as many equations as you need with no account and no fees.

Types Of Reactions You Can Balance

From simple synthesis to tricky redox, the balancer handles it.

Synthesis

Two or more reactants combine to form a single product.

Decomposition

A single compound breaks down into two or more products.

Combustion

A fuel reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.

Single Replacement

One element takes the place of another in a compound.

Double Replacement

Two compounds swap parts to form two new compounds.

Acid Base And Redox

Neutralization reactions and reactions that transfer electrons.

How To Balance An Equation

Three quick steps from an unbalanced reaction to a balanced one.

1

Enter Your Equation

Type your unbalanced equation into the box above, or upload a photo or PDF of it.

2

Let It Balance

The balancer counts the atoms on each side and adds the correct coefficients in seconds.

3

Check The Result

Read the balanced equation and the working, then copy or save it for your homework.

Example Balanced Equations

Here is the kind of clear, balanced result you can expect.

Synthesis

Balance: H2 + O2 → H2O

Balanced: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

Combustion

Balance: CH4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O

Balanced: CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O

Synthesis

Balance: N2 + H2 → NH3

Balanced: N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3

Oxidation

Balance: Fe + O2 → Fe2O3

Balanced: 4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3
