How to use mhchem in wordpress?

I need to write chemical formulae in WordPress posts. For this I want to use mhchem package. I am open to use a plugin for that but there seems to be none in WordPress.org repository.

As mentioned here, mhchem extension can be enabled in mathjax configurations by adding following to the extensions array in the TeX block.

TeX: { extensions: ["mhchem.js"] }

I am able to load Mathjax on my server (usingMathjax-Latex Plugin.) Since Mathjax is available on my server, I hope mhchem package can be used through above mentioned tweak in Mathjax, but can't figure out where and how? I have asked for help on the Mathjax-latex Plugin support forum but got no response even after a year.

Any help in this regard is welcome. It would be fine for me no matter it is through Mathjax-Latex Plugin. or otherwise.

The Mathjax plugin provides a filter named mathjax_config that can be used to add config parameters, something similar to this should do the trick:

add_filter( 'mathjax_config', function() {
    return ['Tex' => [ 'extensions'=> [ 'path/to/mchem.js'] ] ];
});

In the event you'd like to remove dependency on the plugin, you'll need to enqueue the mathjax library, whitelist all the relevant tags so they aren't
