Abstract
Balancing chemical equations is shown to be equivalent to solving a system of linear, algebraic homogeneous equations. Chemical reactions are classified as not feasible, uniquely‐feasible (unique within relative proportions) and non‐uniquely feasible, according to whether the nullity of the reaction matrix is zero, one, or more, respectively.Keywords
