The Importance of Gauss-Jordan Elimination Methods for Balancing Chemical Reaction Equation
Authors

Abstract
This study shows Gauss-Jordan elimination method can help students to obtain the minimal positive integer that balance the number of atoms in reactant and products are conserved as many chemistry students cannot understand how to balance the equation of chemical reaction with maximum numbers of atoms or molecules appear as reactants and products. Hence, this problem can be treated with solving a system of linear equation by transforming its augmented matrix of the corresponding system to reduced row echelon form using successive process of elementary row operations that leads to find the solution for the minimal positive integer that balance the chemical reaction equation.
Keywords- Linear System, Gauss-Jordan Elimination, Row Operation, Chemical Reaction
