A method for determining stoichiometric coefficients using minors of a matrix

Spinel materials often have complex structures and as a result, balancing of reactions with these compounds by traditional methods become very time consuming. A method to calculate the stoichiometric coefficients for chemical reactions using first a modified matrix-inverse method and then an optimised method is proposed. Both methods are explored using linear algebra and the result demonstrated using a typical chromite reduction reaction.
