Chemical Reactions
Read full descriptionHide full description
Chemical Reactions is an ultimate tool for balancing chemical reactions, combining of the multistep chemical equations, investigation of complex reaction mechanisms and evaluation of thermodynamic parameters, such as enthalpy (heat release/absorption) and equilibrium constants. The application interface consists of four reaction rows; each one of which is provided with the following functional elements: Multiplier: Integer value, defining how many times this reaction proceeds during the process. Recalculates stoichiometric coefficients, enthalpy and equilibrium constant after pressing done button in the keyboard! Should be changed only after balanced reaction is set. To reset, delete all digits in the field and press done button. Balance button (=): Balances the provided reaction. Ignores the already provided coefficients. Application automatically present final reaction after pressing done button in the keyboard! Does not intended to work with redox, radical and electron flow reactions, instead consider Electrochemistry app! Reaction: The field to type in reactants and products divided by =. Charge or unpaired electrons (in free radicals), if exist must be provided as well, separated by coma: Na,+ ; R,: . Application automatically presents final reaction after pressing done button in the keyboard! Swipe the field from left-to-right to reverse the reaction. Enthalpy and equilibrium constant are adjusted on the fly. Useful for investigation of complex reaction mechanisms. Application automatically presents final reaction after pressing done button in the keyboard! Keq: Equilibrium constant for particular row. Automatically recalculated after change of multiplier. Application automatically recalculates final values after pressing done button in the keyboard! Enthalpy: Should be negative for exothermic reaction (heat release) and positive for endothermic reaction (heat absorption). Automatically recalculated after change of multiplier. Application automatically recalculates final values after pressing done button in the keyboard! Important points Application supports state indexes: (g), (s), (l), (aq) β all are lowercase only, placed at the end of compound formula. Considered to be a crucial part of a molecule, so same molecules of different states appearing on the opposite sides of equation are not cancelled! Charges of molecules or unpaired electrons must be placed at the end of molecule and separated by coma. They are also considered to be a crucial part of a molecule, so same molecules that have different charges, appearing on the opposite sides of equation are not cancelled!

The ODESolverIntegrator is a simple but elegant app to find the integral of ODEs. You can solve (find the integral of) nonlinear ODEs. You can reduce the higher order ODE to a set of first order ODEs. You can solve (find the integral of) linear ODEs in the form of αΊ = Ax + Bu; y = Cx + Du. This app uses Runge-Kutta 4th order algorithm to solve the ODEs. Once the ODEs are solved, a beautiful interactive graph for each ODE's is created that you can share with other or save it locally. The reduced ODE's equations are presented beautifully in the math-equation format. You can compute definite integral (single, double, tripple). It uses the midpoint method. It automatically saves your hard work locally on your device so you can come back and pick up from where you left off as your great effort will not be lost. This app also has a Study page to help you learn important integration rules like, power rule, product rule, ect. This app is perfect for students learning calculus. Sharpen you brain by using this app and learning about the calculus. This is an app for all student groups. From high school to college to university students. Be creative. Enjoy the app!

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: ODE at monthly against Chemical Reactions's every 3 months. ODE also leads on price ($1.99 vs $3.99) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
