LaTeX formatting in Qwizcards is done client-side (within the browser) using MathJax.  There are many extensions – such as \ce{…} for chemical equations – that all appear to work without any extra setup.  LaTeX is very capable, for example, \[ \ce{ \pu{ 95.2 \rcancel{g}} \rcancel{MgCl2} } \times \frac{\ce{ \pu{ 1 mol } MgCl2 }}{\ce{ \pu{ 95.2 \rcancel{g}} \rcancel{MgCl2} }} = \ce{ \pu{ {\color{blue}\bf{\fbox{?}}} mol } MgCl2 } \]but requires a good deal of patience and attention to detail!  See the MathJax extension list and additional documentation.
