Ilm
Ilm is a Ruby gem for Chemistry, which supports the calculation of molecular mass of compound, balancing chemical equations and efficient handling of states of chemical species.
We aim to make Ilm easy to use, fast and accurate chemistry library, with complete test coverage.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'ilm'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
