Redox Solver

A Python-based application for solving and analyzing redox reactions efficiently. The project is designed to handle complex chemical reactions, providing an easy way to balance redox reactions, calculate oxidation states, and more.

Features

• Automatically balances redox reactions.
• Calculates oxidation states of elements.
• Supports a variety of chemical equations.
• Easy-to-read modular structure for maintainability and scalability.

Project Structure

├── redox_solver.py    # Main application script
├── reaction.py        # Handles redox reaction logic
├── element.py         # Manages chemical elements and properties
├── utils.py           # Utility functions for parsing and validation
├── data.csv           # Dataset containing element data (element names and abbreviation, electronegativity, oxidation states)
└── README.md          # Project documentation

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/108er/RedoxSolver.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd RedoxSolver

3. Install required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Note: If requirements.txt does not yet exist, ensure you have Python 3.x and libraries like pandas installed, if working with data.csv.

Usage

Run the main script to use the solver:

python redox_solver.py

You can also modify and extend the functionality by editing the respective modules. Below is an example of how to use the solver programmatically (for now this is the idea):

from redox_solver import RedoxSolver

solver = RedoxSolver()
reaction = "MnO4- + Fe2+ -> Mn2+ + Fe3+"
balanced_reaction = solver.balance_reaction(reaction)
print("Balanced Reaction:", balanced_reaction)
