Inspiration

The inspiration behind Balancium.com was to create a captivating platform that simplifies the process of balancing chemical equations. We were motivated by the desire to combine the magic of chemistry with intuitive tools to make chemical reactions accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

What it does

Balancium.com is a dynamic website that allows users to effortlessly balance chemical reactions with ease. Through our innovative tools and algorithms, users can input chemical equations and will see if their equations are balanceable and what the balanced equation is. Our platform aims to make the task of balancing equations educational yet somewhat exciting.

How we built it

We built Balancium.com using the Flask web framework in Python, which enabled us to create a good user experience. The backend logic involves algorithms to analyze the chemical equations and find the optimal coefficients for balanced reactions. We combined HTML and CSS to design an pleasing user interface that enhances the overall experience.

Challenges we ran into

During the development process, we encountered several challenges in coding this project using Python. Initially, we faced difficulties in getting our code to work as intended. To overcome this hurdle, we turned to tutorials to gain a better understanding of the concepts involved and applied them to our own code. Troubleshooting the code took considerable time and effort before achieving the desired functionality. Additionally, our limited experience with Flask required extensive research to ensure smooth cohesion of the website.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We take pride in successfully creating a user-friendly and engaging platform that simplifies the complex task of balancing various types of chemical equations.

What we learned

Throughout the development of Balancium.com, we gained valuable insights into web development, Flask, and algorithm creation and optimization.

What's next for Balancium.com

While our submitted project has some minor flaws, we recognize the areas that need improvement. One such aspect is the back-and-forth transition between two pages for input and output. In the future, we aim to streamline this process for a more seamless user experience. Another challenge lies in enhancing our algorithm to display whether an equation is balanceable. We intend to tackle this issue and make further refinements to our website in the future.
