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
