计算题在 AS 阶段化学考试中占据重要地位。牢固掌握摩尔概念、化学计量、气体定律、溶液浓度和热化学计算是获得高分的关键。本文将带你梳理第一年常见的计算题型，提供典型例题和解题思路。

1. The Mole and Molar Mass | 摩尔与摩尔质量

The mole (symbol mol) is the SI unit for amount of substance. One mole contains exactly 6.022 × 10²³ elementary entities, known as the Avogadro constant. The molar mass M of a substance is the mass of one mole, expressed in g mol⁻¹. To find molar mass, add the relative atomic masses (Aᵣ) from the periodic table. For example, NaOH has M = 23.0 + 16.0 + 1.0 = 40.0 g mol⁻¹.

摩尔（符号 mol）是物质的量的国际单位。1 摩尔恰好包含 6.022 × 10²³ 个基本单元，即阿伏伽德罗常数。物质的摩尔质量 M 是 1 摩尔该物质的质量，单位为 g mol⁻¹。求摩尔质量时，将各元素的相对原子质量（Aᵣ）相加即可。例如 NaOH 的 M = 23.0 + 16.0 + 1.0 = 40.0 g mol⁻¹。

The core formula linking mass (m), molar mass (M) and amount (n) is:

n = m / M

核心关系式为质量 m、摩尔质量 M 和物质的量 n：

n = m / M

For instance, to find the amount in 8.00 g of NaOH, use n = 8.00 g / 40.0 g mol⁻¹ = 0.200 mol. Always check that mass is in grams and M is in g mol⁻¹ to get n in mol.

例如求 8.00 g NaOH 的物质的量：n = 8.00 g / 40.0 g mol⁻¹ = 0.200 mol。务必确保质量用克、摩尔质量用 g mol⁻¹，这样得到的 n 单位就是摩尔。

2. Empirical and Molecular Formulae | 经验式与分子式

The empirical formula gives the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound, while the molecular formula shows the actual number of atoms in a molecule. To find the empirical formula from mass or percentage composition, divide the mass (or percentage) of each element by its atomic mass, then divide by the smallest value to get the ratio.

经验式（最简式）表示化合物中各原子最简整数比，分子式则给出分子中原子的实际数目。由质量或质量分数推求经验式时，先用各元素的质量（或百分比）除以各自的原子量，再将结果除以最小商值得到整数比。

Worked example: A compound contains 40.0% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen and 53.3% oxygen by mass. Assuming 100 g, masses are 40.0 g C, 6.7 g H, 53.3 g O. Moles: C = 40.0/12.0 = 3.33, H = 6.7/1.0 = 6.7, O = 53.3/16.0 = 3.33. Divide by 3.33: ratio C : H : O = 1 : 2 : 1. Empirical formula is CH₂O.

例题：某化合物含碳 40.0%、氢 6.7%、氧 53.3%。假设取 100 g，则 C 40.0 g、H 6.7 g、O 53.3 g。摩尔数：C = 40.0/12.0 = 3.33，H = 6.7/1.0 = 6.7，O = 53.3/16.0 = 3.33。除以 3.33 得比值为 C : H : O = 1 : 2 : 1，经验式为 CH₂O。

To get the molecular formula, you need the relative molecular mass (Mᵣ). If the Mᵣ of the compound is 180, the empirical formula mass of CH₂O is 30. The multiplier is 180/30 = 6. Molecular formula is C₆H₁₂O₆.

要得到分子式，需知道相对分子质量（Mᵣ）。若该化合物 Mᵣ = 180，经验式 CH₂O 的式量为 30，则倍数 = 180/30 = 6。分子式为 C₆H₁₂O₆。

3. Reacting Masses and Stoichiometry | 反应质量与化学计量

Stoichiometry uses the balanced chemical equation to relate the amounts of reactants and products. The coefficients give the mole ratio. To calculate the mass of a product from a given mass of reactant, first convert the reactant mass to moles, use the mole ratio from the equation to find moles of the desired substance, then convert back to mass.

化学计量利用配平方程式关联反应物与产物的量。方程式的系数即摩尔比。由已知反应物的质量计算产物质量时，先将反应物质量换算成摩尔数，利用方程式的摩尔比求出目标物质的摩尔数，再转换为质量。

Example: 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO. How many grams of MgO are formed from 4.86 g of Mg? (Aᵣ: Mg = 24.3, O = 16.0). Moles of Mg = 4.86 / 24.3 = 0.200 mol. From the equation, 2 mol Mg → 2 mol MgO, so MgO moles also 0.200 mol. M of MgO = 24.3 + 16.0 = 40.3 g mol⁻¹. Mass = 0.200 mol × 40.3 g mol⁻¹ = 8.06 g.

例题：2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO。4.86 g Mg 能生成多少克 MgO？(Aᵣ: Mg = 24.3, O = 16.0)。Mg 的物质的量 = 4.86/24.3 = 0.200 mol。由方程式，2 mol Mg 生成 2 mol MgO，故 MgO 也为 0.200 mol。MgO 的 M = 24.3+16.0 = 40.3 g mol⁻¹，质量 = 0.200 × 40.3 = 8.06 g。

Always present the three-step method: mass → moles → mole ratio → moles → mass. This systematic approach avoids errors, especially with unfamiliar compounds.

牢记三步法：质量 → 物质的量 → 摩尔比 → 物质的量 → 质量。系统化的步骤能有效避免错误，尤其遇到不熟悉的物质时。

4. Limiting Reagent and Percentage Yield | 限量试剂与产率

In many reactions, one reactant is completely consumed while others are in excess. The limiting reagent determines the maximum amount of product that can be formed. To identify it, calculate the moles of each reactant and compare the mole ratio with the balanced equation. The reactant that gives the smaller amount of product is limiting.

在许多反应中，某反应物会被完全消耗，其余则过量。限量试剂决定了产物的最大理论产量。识别限量试剂的方法是分别计算各反应物的物质的量，并根据方程式比较摩尔比，能够生成较少产物量的反应物即为限量试剂。

Example: 2Al + 3Cl₂ → 2AlCl₃. If you have 5.40 g of Al and 10.65 g of Cl₂ (Aᵣ: Al=27.0, Cl=35.5), find moles: Al = 5.40/27.0 = 0.200 mol, Cl₂ = 10.65/71.0 = 0.150 mol. According to the equation, 2 mol Al react with 3 mol Cl₂. Required Cl₂ for 0.200 mol Al = 0.200 × (3/2) = 0.300 mol. Only 0.150 mol Cl₂ available, so Cl₂ is limiting. Maximum moles of AlCl₃ = 0.150 × (2/3) = 0.100 mol.

例如：2Al + 3Cl₂ → 2AlCl₃。如果有 5.40 g Al 和 10.65 g Cl₂ (Aᵣ: Al=27.0, Cl=35.5)，求摩尔数：Al = 5.40/27.0 = 0.200 mol，Cl₂ = 10.65/71.0 = 0.150 mol。依方程式，2 mol Al 需 3 mol Cl₂，则 0.200 mol Al 需要 0.200×(3/2)=0.300 mol Cl₂，但只有 0.150 mol，故 Cl₂ 为限量试剂。AlCl₃ 最大产量 = 0.150×(2/3)=0.100 mol。

Percentage yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) × 100%. This evaluates the efficiency of a reaction. Even with the correct stoichiometry, side reactions or incomplete recovery can lower the yield.

产率 = (实际产量 / 理论产量) × 100%，用于评价反应效率。即使计量关系正确，副反应或分离损失也可能使产率下降。

5. Molar Volume of Gases | 气体的摩尔体积

At room temperature and pressure (rtp, 20 °C, 1 atm), one mole of any ideal gas occupies 24.0 dm³ (or 24 000 cm³). This molar volume is used to convert between amount and volume directly. The formula is V (dm³) = n × 24.0, or n = V (dm³) / 24.0.

在常温常压（rtp，20 °C、1 atm）下，1 摩尔任何理想气体的体积为 24.0 dm³（或 24 000 cm³）。利用此摩尔体积可直接将物质的量与气体体积相互换算。公式为 V (dm³) = n × 24.0，或 n = V (dm³) / 24.0。

Example: What volume of CO₂ is produced at rtp when 10.0 g of CaCO₃ decomposes? (CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂; M of CaCO₃ = 100.1 g mol⁻¹). Moles CaCO₃ = 10.0 / 100.1 = 0.0999 mol ≈ 0.100 mol. From the equation, 1 mol CaCO₃ → 1 mol CO₂, so CO₂ moles = 0.100 mol. Volume of CO₂ = 0.100 × 24.0 = 2.40 dm³.

例题：10.0 g CaCO₃ 分解时，在 rtp 下产生多少体积 CO₂？(CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂; M CaCO₃ = 100.1 g mol⁻¹)。CaCO₃ 物质的量 = 10.0/100.1 ≈ 0.100 mol。由方程式知 0.100 mol CO₂。CO₂ 体积 = 0.100 × 24.0 = 2.40 dm³。

For calculations involving gas density, you can combine the ideal gas equation pV = nRT if needed. However, at Year 1 level, the molar volume at rtp is the most common tool. Always state the conditions clearly.

涉及气体密度的计算可能会用到理想气体状态方程 pV = nRT。但在第一年的课程中，rtp 下的摩尔体积是最常用的工具。务必明确标明温度压强条件。

6. Solution Concentration and Dilution | 溶液浓度与稀释

Concentration c is defined as the amount of solute per unit volume of solution, usually in mol dm⁻³ (molarity). The formula is c = n / V, where n is the amount in moles and V is the volume of solution in dm³. If the volume is given in cm³, convert it to dm³ by dividing by 1000.

浓度 c 指单位体积溶液中溶质的物质的量，常用单位为 mol dm⁻³（摩尔/升）。公式为 c = n / V，其中 n 为物质的量（mol），V 为溶液体积（dm³）。若体积以 cm³ 给出，需除以 1000 转换成 dm³。

Example: 4.00 g of NaOH (M=40.0) is dissolved in water and made up to 250 cm³. Calculate the concentration. n(NaOH) = 4.00/40.0 = 0.100 mol. V = 250/1000 = 0.250 dm³. c = 0.100 / 0.250 = 0.400 mol dm⁻³.

例题：将 4.00 g NaOH（M=40.0）溶于水并定容至 250 cm³，求该溶液浓度。n(NaOH) = 4.00/40.0 = 0.100 mol。V = 250/1000 = 0.250 dm³，c = 0.100/0.250 = 0.400 mol dm⁻³。

Dilutions follow the law of conservation of moles: n₁ = n₂, so c₁V₁ = c₂V₂. This applies when you take a small volume of a stock solution and dilute it. Always watch the volume units and ensure they match on both sides.

稀释遵循物质的量守恒：n₁ = n₂，因此 c₁V₁ = c₂V₂。适用于移取一定体积母液进行稀释的场合。注意体积单位在等式两边保持一致。

7. Titration Calculations | 滴定计算

Acid–base titration results are used to find the concentration of an unknown solution. The central formula relates the moles of acid and base via the stoichiometric ratio. For a general reaction aA + bB → products, the relationship is: n_A / a = n_B / b, which translates to (c_A V_A) / a = (c_B V_B) / b. Here V is in dm³.

酸碱滴定结果可用来计算未知溶液的浓度。核心公式通过化学计量比关联酸与碱的物质的量。对于反应 aA + bB → 产物，有：n_A / a = n_B / b，即 (c_A V_A) / a = (c_B V_B) / b，其中体积 V 的单位为 dm³。

Example: 25.0 cm³ of H₂SO₄ is neutralised by 18.50 cm³ of 0.100 mol dm⁻³ NaOH. Find the concentration of the acid. Equation: H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O, so a=1, b=2. Moles of NaOH = 0.100 × (18.50/1000) = 0.00185 mol. From ratio, moles H₂SO₄ = 0.00185 / 2 = 0.000925 mol. V(H₂SO₄) = 25.0/1000 = 0.0250 dm³. c(H₂SO₄) = 0.000925 / 0.0250 = 0.0370 mol dm⁻³.

例题：25.0 cm³ H₂SO₄ 溶液恰好被 18.50 cm³ 0.100 mol dm⁻³ NaOH 溶液中和，求硫酸浓度。反应式：H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O，故 a=1、b=2。NaOH 物质的量 = 0.100 × (18.50/1000) = 0.00185 mol。依比例，H₂SO₄ 物质的量 = 0.00185/
