9. Energy Changes in Chemistry | 化学中的能量变化
During a chemical reaction, energy is needed to break bonds in reactants, and energy is released when new bonds form in products. The overall energy change is the difference between these two values. In an exothermic reaction, more energy is released than absorbed; the opposite is true for endothermic processes.
化学反应过程中,打破反应物中的化学键需要能量,而产物中新键形成时释放能量。总能量变化即为这两者的差值。在放热反应中,释放的能量大于吸收的能量;吸热过程则相反。
Simple calorimetry experiments can measure the energy released by burning fuels or by neutralisation. Use the equation:
简单的量热实验可以测量燃料燃烧或中和反应释放的能量。使用以下公式:
Q = m × c × ΔT
where Q = heat energy (J), m = mass of water (g), c = specific heat capacity of water (4.2 J/g°C) and ΔT = temperature change (°C). Calculate the energy per mole or per gram from your results.
其中 Q = 热能(J),m = 水的质量(g),c = 水的比热容(4.2 J/g°C),ΔT = 温度变化(°C)。根据实验结果计算每摩尔或每克的能量。
10. Forces and Motion | 力与运动
Speed and velocity can be calculated from distance–time graphs; the gradient of a straight line represents speed. Acceleration is found from the gradient of a velocity–time graph, and the area under the line gives distance travelled.
速度和速率可以从距离-时间图中计算;直线的斜率代表速度。加速度则由速度-时间图的斜率得出,线下面积表示行驶的距离。
Newton’s laws of motion: an object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by a resultant force (F = m × a). When two objects interact, forces are equal in size and opposite in direction.
牛顿运动定律:除非受到合外力的作用,否则物体将保持静止或匀速直线运动(F = m × a)。两个物体相互作用时,作用力与反作用力大小相等、方向相反。
Analyse momentum as the product of mass and velocity: p = m × v. In a closed system, total momentum before an event equals total momentum after. Use this to explain collision and explosion scenarios.

12. Electricity and Circuits | 电与电路
Define current as the rate of flow of charge (I = Q ÷ t) and potential difference as the energy transferred per unit charge (V = E ÷ Q). Resistors obey Ohm’s law under constant physical conditions, where V = I × R.
定义电流为电荷流动的速率(I = Q ÷ t),电位差为单位电荷转移的能量(V = E ÷ Q)。在物理条件不变的情况下,电阻器遵循欧姆定律:V = I × R。
In series circuits, current is the same everywhere while potential difference is shared. In parallel circuits, current splits while potential difference across each branch is equal. Be able to calculate total resistance: in series, R_total = R₁ + R₂; in parallel, the reciprocal formula applies.
在串联电路中,电流处处相等,而电位差则被分配。在并联电路中,电流分流,而各支路两端的电位差相等。能够计算总电阻:串联时 R_total = R₁ + R₂;并联时使用倒数公式。
Electrical power can be calculated using P = I × V or P = I²R. Energy transferred is given by E = P × t. Know how to interpret circuit diagrams, use ammeters in series and voltmeters in parallel, and explain the role of fuses and earth wires in electrical safety.
