Chemistry equations made easy using equation triangles (and other shapes)

2/7/2015

 
Chemistry is often considered to be a “complicated” subject that is “only for smart people”.  Studying Chemistry indeed requires the interest, commitment and practice, however we here at The Zen of Chemistry believe that ANYONE can learn chemistry, given the right tools.

In chemistry one needs to be able to use equations and calculate answers, and in order to do this, being able to rearrange equations to find the desired value is a key skill.  Rearranging equations comes easily to those with a strong maths/algebra background, however for some of us, our creative and visual brains just don't work that way, and we need different tools to get the job done.

We're here to tell you THERE IS AN EASIER WAY!
(PS: If you'd prefer to watch a video, watch it here)

Enter the Equation Triangle

Disclaimer: We do not claim to have come up with this concept, but rather wish to spread its' use for those who find rearranging equations difficult.
​

The answer to all of your equation rearrangement troubles!
