Abstract: Balancing chemical equations provides a unified framework on understanding and quantifying chemical reactions, making it a fundamental tool in chemistry. The prime objectives to balanced chemical equations are to make both sides of the reaction, the reactants as well as the products, possess the same number of atoms per element. It is worth mentioning that understanding how and in what amounts certain mole-cules are created is made easier with the use of chemical reactions. It also indicates the quantity of reactants required to complete the reaction. These two identities of a chemical reaction are specified by balancing the reaction, which also helps in understanding how to speed up or stop the process. However, balancing long chemical reactions is a difficult and time-consuming task. Employing the principles of mathematical computation to the balancing of chemical equations may come as a remedy to this problem. Thus, in the current paper, we use a matrix-based method, Gauss Elimination mathematical model to balance the chemical equations of a few specific inorganic reactions. Computation work was performed and validated with the help of Python software.
