AS化学Unit 1考试常附带一份试卷插入页，提供了相对原子质量、物理常数和公式等关键数据。在2020年1月的考试中，考生需要利用这些信息解决各种计算问题。本文将分解主要计算题型，展示如何有效使用插入页，并提供策略帮你自信应对这类题目。
1. Understanding the Jan20 Paper Insert | 理解2020年1月试卷插入页
The insert typically lists relative atomic masses (Aᵣ) of selected elements such as H, C, O, Na, and Cl. It also includes constants like the Avogadro constant (Nₐ = 6.02 × 10²³ mol⁻¹), the ideal gas constant (R = 8.31 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹), and often the standard molar volume of a gas at RTP (24.0 dm³ mol⁻¹). Familiarising yourself with the layout before the exam saves valuable time.
插入页通常列出部分元素的相对原子质量（Aᵣ），如H、C、O、Na、Cl等。还包括阿伏伽德罗常数（Nₐ = 6.02 × 10²³ mol⁻¹）、理想气体常数（R = 8.31 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹）等常数，以及常室温常压下气体的标准摩尔体积（24.0 dm³ mol⁻¹）。考前熟悉其布局能节省宝贵时间。
Key data may be presented in a simple table, and some formulas like q = mcΔT or pV = nRT are printed directly. Always check which version of the insert applies to your specification, but the core values are very similar across boards.
关键数据可能以简单表格形式呈现，有些公式如 q = mcΔT 或 pV = nRT 会直接印出。请务必确认你的考试大纲对应的插入页版本，但各考试局的核心数值十分相近。
2. Essential Data and Constants | 基本数据与常数
The Jan20 paper insert provides Aᵣ values to one decimal place: H(1.0), C(12.0), N(14.0), O(16.0), Na(23.0), Mg(24.3), Al(27.0), S(32.1), Cl(35.5), Ca(40.1), Cu(63.5), and so on. It also gives the molar mass of electrons as negligible, so you ignore them in ionic calculations.
2020年1月试卷插入页给出的Aᵣ值精确到一位小数：H(1.0)、C(12.0)、N(14.0)、O(16.0)、Na(23.0)、Mg(24.3)、Al(27.0)、S(32.1)、Cl(35.5)、Ca(40.1)、Cu(63.5)等。它还标明电子的摩尔质量可忽略，因此在离子计算中不考虑。
The ideal gas constant is given as 8.31 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹, which tells you that pressure must be in pascals (Pa) and volume in cubic metres (m³). For calorimetry, the specific heat capacity of water is often provided as 4.18 J g⁻¹ K⁻¹. Remember to convert values to match these units.
理想气体常数给出为8.31 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹，这意味着压强必须用帕斯卡（Pa），体积用立方米（m³）。量热计算中，水的比热容常为4.18 J g⁻¹ K⁻¹。记得将数值转换为匹配的单位。
3. Calculating Moles and Masses | 摩尔与质量计算
The most fundamental formula is n = m / Mᵣ, where n is the amount in moles, m is the mass in grams, and Mᵣ is the molar mass from the insert. For example, to find the moles of sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) in 5.30 g: Mᵣ = 23.0×2 + 12.0 + 16.0×3 = 106.0, so n = 5.30 / 106.0 = 0.0500 mol.
最基本的公式是 n = m / Mᵣ，其中 n 是物质的量（摩尔），m 是质量（克），Mᵣ 是来自插入页的摩尔质量。例如，计算5.30 g碳酸钠（Na₂CO₃）的物质的量：Mᵣ = 23.0×2 + 12.0 + 16.0×3 = 106.0，所以 n = 5.30 / 106.0 = 0.0500 mol。
For solutions, the relationship n = c × V is essential, where c is concentration in mol dm⁻³ and V is volume in dm³. The insert does not explicitly state this, so you must remember to convert cm³ to dm³ by dividing by 1000. A 25.0 cm³ sample of 0.200 mol dm⁻³ HCl contains n = 0.200 × (25.0/1000) = 0.00500 mol.
对于溶液，n = c × V 十分关键，其中 c 是浓度（mol dm⁻³），V 是体积（dm³）。插入页没有明确说明，因此必须记住将 cm³ 除以 1000 转换为 dm³。25.0 cm³ 的 0.200 mol dm⁻³ HCl 中，n = 0.200 × (25.0/1000) = 0.00500 mol。
n = m / Mᵣ
n = c × V (dm³)
4. Empirical and Molecular Formulae | 实验式与分子式
Empirical formula questions often give percentage composition by mass. Using the insert’s Aᵣ values, convert each percentage to moles by dividing by the element’s Aᵣ, then divide each result by the smallest number of moles to obtain the simplest whole‑number ratio. For instance, a compound containing 40.0% C, 6.7% H, and 53.3% O gives 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 → C₁H₂O₁, so the empirical formula is CH₂O.
实验式题目常给出质量百分组成。利用插入页的Aᵣ值，将每个百分比除以对应元素的Aᵣ转化为摩尔数，再将各结果除以最小摩尔数，得到最简整数比。例如，某化合物含40.0% C、6.7% H、53.3% O：C摩尔数 = 40.0/12.0 = 3.33，H = 6.7/1.0 = 6.7，O = 53.3/16.0 = 3.33；除以3.33 → C₁H₂O₁，实验式即为 CH₂O。
To find the molecular formula, you need the relative molecular mass (Mᵣ), which may be given in the question or deduced from the insert. If Mᵣ is found to be 180, and the empirical formula mass of CH₂O is 30, multiply the subscripts by 180/30 = 6 to get C₆H₁₂O₆.
要确定分子式，需要已知相对分子质量（Mᵣ），可由题目给出或根据插入页推算。若Mᵣ为180，而实验式CH₂O的式量为30，则将下标乘以180/30 = 6，得到 C₆H₁₂O₆。
5. Reacting Masses and Gas Volumes | 反应质量与气体体积
Given a balanced equation, you can use the mole ratio to convert the mass of one substance to the mass of another. The insert’s Aᵣ values are used to find the molar masses. For example, in 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO, if you start with 2.43 g of Mg (Aᵣ = 24.3), then n(Mg) = 2.43/24.3 = 0.100 mol; according to the ratio, n(MgO) = 0.100 mol, mass MgO = 0.100 × (24.3+16.0) = 4.03 g.
根据配平方程式，可利用摩尔比将一种物质的质量转化为另一种物质的质量。插入页的Aᵣ值用于计算摩尔质量。例如，反应 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO，若初始Mg质量为2.43 g（Aᵣ = 24.3），则 n(Mg) = 2.43/24.3 = 0.100 mol；根据比例，n(MgO) = 0.100 mol，MgO质量 = 0.100 × (24.3+16.0) = 4.03 g。
For gases, the insert often provides the molar volume at RTP (24.0 dm³ mol⁻¹) or at STP (22.4 dm³ mol⁻¹). Use the mole ratio to find moles of gas, then volume = moles × molar volume. If 0.500 mol of CO₂ is produced at RTP, its volume = 0.500 × 24.0 = 12.0 dm³.
对于气体，插入页通常提供室温常压下的摩尔体积（24.0 dm³ mol⁻¹）或标准状况下的（22.4 dm³ mol⁻¹）。先用摩尔比求出气体的物质的量，再气体体积 = 物质的量 × 摩尔体积。若生成0.500 mol CO₂（RTP），体积 = 0.500 × 24.0 = 12.0 dm³。
6. Titration Calculations | 滴定计算
Titration questions blend solution concentration with mole ratios. The insert’s Aᵣ values come into play if the analyte is a solid that has been dissolved. For the reaction HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O, if 25.0 cm³ of NaOH solution is neutralised by 20.0 cm³ of 0.100 mol dm⁻³ HCl, then n(HCl) = 0.100 × 20.0/1000 = 0.00200 mol, so n(NaOH) = 0.00200 mol, and c(NaOH) = 0.00200 / (25.0/1000) = 0.0800 mol dm⁻³.
滴定题目结合了溶液浓度与摩尔比。若待测物是溶解的固体，则需用到插入页的Aᵣ值。以反应 HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O 为例，若25.0 cm³ NaOH溶液被20.0 cm³ 0.100 mol dm⁻³ HCl中和，则 n(HCl) = 0.100 × 20.0/1000 = 0.00200 mol，所以 n(NaOH) = 0.00200 mol，c(NaOH) = 0.00200 / (25.0/1000) = 0.0800 mol dm⁻³。
When the solid is impure or its purity is sought, first find the moles of the active ingredient from the titration, then use Aᵣ to find the mass expected; compare with the actual weighed mass. This uses the insert’s molar masses heavily.
当固体不纯或需计算纯度时，先从滴定求出有效成分的物质的量，再用Aᵣ求算预期质量，与实际称量质量比较。这大量依赖插入页的摩尔质量。
7. Using the Ideal Gas Equation | 使用理想气体方程
The equation pV = nRT appears on the insert and is essential for non‑standard conditions. With R = 8.31 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹, p must be in Pa, V in m³, and T in K. To convert °C to K, add 273. For example, to find the mass of CO₂ in a 500 cm³ (5.00 × 10⁻⁴ m³) container at 100 kPa and 298 K: n = pV / RT = (100×10³ Pa × 5.00×10⁻⁴ m³) / (8.31 × 298) ≈ 0.0202 mol, then mass = 0.0202 × 44.0 = 0.889 g.
方程 pV = nRT 印在插入页上，对于非标准条件下的计算至关重要。R = 8.31 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹，p 单位须为 Pa，V 为 m³，T 为 K。将 °C 加 273 转为开尔文。例如，求算 500 cm³（5.00 × 10⁻⁴ m³）容器中，100 kPa、298 K 下 CO₂ 的质量：n = pV / RT = (100×10³ Pa × 5.00×10⁻⁴ m³) / (8.31 × 298) ≈ 0.0202 mol，质量 = 0.0202 × 44.0 = 0.889 g。
Many students lose marks by forgetting to convert from cm³ to m³ (divide by 1,000,000) or from kPa to Pa (multiply by 1000). The insert’s R value dictates these units, so always check.
许多学生因忘记将 cm³ 转换为 m³（除以1,000,000）或将 kPa 转换为 Pa（乘以1000）而失分。插入页的R值决定了这些单位，务必检查。
pV = nRT
8. Enthalpy Changes from Calorimetry | 量热法计算焓变
The insert often provides q = mcΔT, where q is the heat energy (J), m is the mass of solution (g), c is the specific heat capacity (4.18 J g⁻¹ K⁻¹ for water), and ΔT is the temperature change (K or °C). To find ΔH, divide q by the moles of limiting reactant and scale to kJ mol⁻¹.
插入页常提供 q = mcΔT，其中 q 为热量（J），m 为溶液质量（g），c 为比热容（水为 4.18 J g⁻¹ K⁻¹），ΔT 为温度变化（K或°C）。要求 ΔH，需用 q 除以限制反应物的物质的量，并转换为 kJ mol⁻¹。
For instance, if 0.0500 mol of a reactant raises the temperature of 50.0 g of water by 12.5 °C, then q = 50.0 × 4.18 × 12.5 = 2612.5 J ≈ 2.61 kJ. ΔH = −2.61 kJ / 0.0500 mol = −52.2 kJ mol⁻¹ (exothermic). The sign must reflect the temperature rise or fall.
例如，0.0500 mol 某反应物使 50.0 g 水升温 12.5 °C，则 q = 50.0 × 4.18 × 12.5 = 2612.5 J ≈ 2.61 kJ。ΔH = −2.61 kJ / 0.0500 mol = −52.2 kJ mol⁻¹（放热）。正负号须反映温度升降。
q = mcΔT
9. Atom Economy and Percentage Yield | 原子经济性与产率
Atom economy uses Aᵣ values from the insert to sum molar masses. It is calculated as: (molar mass of desired product ÷ sum of molar masses of all reactants) × 100%. For example, in the reaction Br₂ + C₃H₆ → C₃H₆Br₂, desired product C₃H₆Br₂ has Mᵣ = 202.0, reactants Br₂ has Mᵣ = 159.8 and C₃H₆ has 42.0; atom economy = 202.0 / (159.8+42.0) × 100% = 100% because only one product forms. A question might ask for atom economy of a multistep process.
原子经济性需用到插入页的Aᵣ值来求总和。计算公式为：（目标产物摩尔质量 ÷ 所有反应物摩尔质量之和）× 100%。例如反应 Br₂ + C₃H₆ → C₃H₆Br₂，目标产物 C₃H₆Br₂ 的 Mᵣ = 202.0，反应物 Br₂ 的 Mᵣ = 159.8，C₃H₆ 的 42.0；原子经济性 = 202.0 / (159.8+42.0) × 100% = 100%，因为只生成一种产物。题目可能要求多步过程的原子经济性。
Percentage yield = (actual mass ÷ theoretical mass) × 100%. Theoretical mass is obtained via reacting mass calculations using the mole ratio and insert Aᵣ values. If 2.00 g of product is predicted but only 1.60 g is collected, yield = (1.60/2.00)×100% = 80.0%.
产率 = （实际质量 ÷ 理论质量）× 100%。理论质量通过反应质量计算得出，使用摩尔比和插入页Aᵣ值。若预测产物质量为2.00 g，仅收集到1.60 g，产率 = (1.60/2.00)×100% = 80.0%。
10. Combining Calculations: A Multi‑Step Approach | 综合计算：多步思路
Many Jan20 questions link two or more concepts. A typical question might ask you to determine the purity of a carbonate sample by reacting it with an acid, collecting the evolved CO₂, measuring its volume, and using the ideal gas equation to find moles of CO₂, then moles of carbonate, and finally mass of pure carbonate. The insert is used at every stage: molar volume or ideal gas constant, then Aᵣ for mass.
许多 Jan20 题目串联了两到三个概念。典型题目要求测定某碳酸盐样品的纯度：与酸反应，收集生成的 CO₂，测量其体积，用理想气体方程求 CO₂ 物质的量，再求碳酸盐的物质的量，最后求得纯碳酸盐的质量。插入页的运用贯穿始终：摩尔体积或气体常数，然后是Aᵣ求质量。
Plan a logical sequence: convert given data to moles, use the balanced equation to find target moles, then convert to the required quantity (mass, volume, concentration, etc
