Chemsolve is a library for solving and practicing chemistry problems. It’s made to have easy usability while still retaining a powerful engine with functionality allowing it to tackle more complicated problems. It was designed as a tool for lower-level chemistry and problem solving as opposed to a materials science or higher-level chemistry library.
Chemsolve currently runs on Python 3.6 or higher. You can install it from PyPi via pip:
```shell script pip install chemsolve
if you want to install it directly from this repository:
```shell script
git clone https://github.com/amogh7joshi/chemsolve.git
cd chemsolve
python setup.py install
Then execute: ```shell script
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
cd tests python3 elementtest.py
Chemsolve makes use of the [chempy](https://github.com/bjodah/chempy) library for backend stoichiometry calculations.
## Using Chemsolve
Chemsolve relies heavily on an object-based framework with classes representing important objects in chemistry: elements, compounds, reactions.
The structure of Chemsolve is similar to the following:
![Classes](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/amogh7joshi/chemsolve/master/images/objects.png)
In addition, Chemsolve includes numerous features to ease chemistry calculations, available in the associated modules within
Chemsolve, such as molarity and molality calculations in `chemsolve.solutions` and the ideal gas formula within
`chemsolve.gases`.
### Examples
Examples for all of the primary implemented structures can be found in `/examples`:
1. The [Element Class](https://github.com/amogh7joshi/chemsolve/blob/master/examples/element_example.ipynb) and usage.
2. The [Compound Class](https://github.com/amogh7joshi/chemsolve/blob/master/examples/compound_example.ipynb) and usage.
3. The [Reaction Class](https://github.com/amogh7joshi/chemsolve/blob/master/examples/reaction_example.ipynb) and usage.
In this example, we will use the Reaction class.
Import the required module(s):
```python
from chemsolve import Compound, Reaction
Create the Necessary Object and its Object parameters:
# Compounds which will be reacted.
r1 = Compound("NH3", grams = 5.00)
r2 = Compound("O2", grams = 3.46)
p1 = Compound("NO2")
p2 = Compound("H2O")
reaction = Reaction(r1, r2, "-->", p1, p2)
From here, you can access the object’s attributes.
print(reaction.balanced_reaction)
print(reaction.limiting_reactant)
