Aplicação de sistemas lineares para balanceamento de equações químicas

Abstract

Linear systems have various applications in problems within the natural sciences. This study aims to present and review basic concepts of stoichiometry and linear systems, applying them to the balancing of chemical equations a topic familiar to both high school and university students. To ensure a better understanding of the subject, this work is structured into six main chapters, each addressing essential aspects for the development of the research. The first chapter is dedicated to a general introduction to the study, presenting the central theme and its relevance. The second chapter outlines the objectives to be achieved. The third chapter provides the theoretical foundation, discussing fundamental concepts related to the teaching and learning of mathematics and chemistry. This foundation seeks to offer a broad perspective on the challenges and opportunities for improving the teaching of these disciplines. In the fourth chapter, the methodology used for the development of the study is described, ensuring clarity and transparency in the investigative process, allowing for the reproducibility of the study and the validation of the results. Finally, the fifth chapter presents the analysis of the obtained results and the final considerations, highlighting the main contributions of the research and possible directions for future studies.
