Build chemistry questions around formulae and equations

Turn formulae and equations into structured questions. Enter the correct chemistry, choose the exact positions learners complete and review answers without reducing the notation to plain text.

What this lets you do

Choose the chemistry and the shape of the answer

Start from a formula or equation you provide. Praktikal can help with a supported balance, hide selected positions and keep each response tied to that structure.

You decide what is given, what is missing and whether the result is ready to use.

1 Write or build the chemistry

Start with the correct formula or equation

Add a Chemistry exercise, write the question and enter the formula or equation learners will work with. Common notation can be assembled with chemistry controls, with source text available when that is clearer.

  • Build common formulae without flattening them into an image
  • Switch to source text for notation the builder does not cover

2 Check the equation

Insert a balanced ratio when the equation is supported

For a supported equation, Balance the equation calculates a whole-number ratio and inserts the coefficients. Inspect the result before deciding what learners should supply.

  • Review the inserted coefficients as the subject expert
  • Keep unsupported or ambiguous notation with the author

3 Choose the answer shape

Mark exactly what learners will fill in

Select coefficients, element symbols, subscripts, charges or a whole substance directly in the chemistry. Leave every position unmarked when the learner should write the complete formula.

  • Leave the surrounding chemistry visible as context
  • Use free entry when the complete formula is the answer

4 Answer and review

Keep the submitted chemistry structured in the result

Praktikal checks submitted coefficients against atom conservation and can return correct, partly correct or incorrect results. Bounded feedback can identify an unbalanced ratio or one in the wrong form.

  • Score only the positions the learner supplied
  • Review rendered chemistry in row, card or analytics results

Build one chemistry question from a formula you already teach

Add a Chemistry exercise, enter the correct chemistry and choose whether learners complete selected positions or write the whole answer.
