Balancing Chemical Equations Using Matrix Algebra

Balancing Chemical equations has been made much easier especially for those who find it difficult by moving away from intelligent guesses toward the augmented matrix protocol. The mathematical approach applied illustrates how to construct a homogenous system of linear equation whose solution provides appropriate value to balance the atoms in the reactant and with those in the product using matrix algebra by Guassian elimination method and corresponding solution using Matlab. It is a manual for students which have general chemistry as a subject in High schools, College of Educations, Polytechnics, and Universities. It is particularly rich for students offering Linear Algebra at every level.
