1. The Mole and Molar Mass | 摩尔与摩尔质量

The mole is the SI unit for amount of substance. One mole of any substance contains exactly 6.02 × 10²³ particles (Avogadro’s constant). The molar mass (M) is the mass of one mole of a substance, expressed in g mol⁻¹. For atoms, molar mass equals the relative atomic mass (Ar) in grams; for compounds, it equals the relative formula mass (Mr) in grams.

摩尔是物质的量的国际单位。1摩尔任何物质都精确包含6.02 × 10²³个粒子（阿伏伽德罗常数）。摩尔质量（M）是1摩尔物质的质量，以 g mol⁻¹ 为单位。对原子而言，摩尔质量等于以克为单位的相对原子质量（Ar）；对化合物而言，等于以克为单位的相对分子质量（Mr）。

moles (n) = mass (g) ÷ molar mass (g mol⁻¹)    or    n = m / M

摩尔（n）= 质量（g）÷ 摩尔质量（g mol⁻¹）   或    n = m / M

Example: Calculate the number of moles in 8.0 g of oxygen gas, O₂. Mr of O₂ = 2 × 16 = 32, so M = 32 g mol⁻¹. n = 8.0 / 32 = 0.25 mol.

例题：计算8.0 g氧气（O₂）的物质的量。O₂的 Mr = 2 × 16 = 32，因此 M = 32 g mol⁻¹。n = 8.0 / 32 = 0.25 mol。

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

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

经验式表示化合物中各原子的最简整数比。分子式给出一个分子中每种原子的实际数目。从质量或百分组成求经验式时，用每种元素的质量或百分数除以其相对原子质量，然后将所有结果除以得到的最小值，得到整数比。

If the empirical formula mass is known, the molecular formula is found by: n = relative molecular mass ÷ empirical formula mass. Then multiply the empirical formula subscripts by n.

若已知经验式的式量，可通过 n = 相对分子质量 ÷ 经验式质量 求出倍数，再将经验式的下标乘以 n，即得分子式。

3. Reacting Mass Calculations | 反应质量计算

Reacting mass problems use a balanced chemical equation to link the masses of reactants and products. The general strategy: write the balanced equation, convert given mass to moles, use the mole ratio from the equation to find moles of the target substance, and finally convert moles back to mass.

反应质量计算题使用配平的化学方程式将反应物与生成物的质量联系起来。基本步骤：写出配平方程式，将已知质量转为摩尔，利用方程式中的摩尔比求出目标物质的摩尔，最后将摩尔转为质量。

Example: What mass of water is produced when 4.0 g of hydrogen reacts completely with oxygen? 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O. Moles of H₂ = 4.0 / 2 = 2.0 mol. Mole ratio H₂ : H₂O is 2:2 (or 1:1), so moles of H₂O = 2.0 mol. Mass of H₂O = 2.0 × 18 = 36 g.

例题：4.0 g氢气与氧气完全反应生成多少克水？2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O。H₂的摩尔 = 4.0 / 2 = 2.0 mol。H₂与H₂O的摩尔比为2:2（即1:1），因此H₂O的摩尔 = 2.0 mol。H₂O的质量 = 2.0 × 18 = 36 g。

4. Gas Volume Calculations at RTP | 常温常压下气体体积计算

At room temperature and pressure (RTP, 20 °C and 1 atm), one mole of any gas occupies 24 dm³ (or 24 000 cm³). This molar gas volume is used to interconvert between moles and gas volume.

在常温常压下（RTP，20 °C、1 atm），1摩尔任何气体的体积为24 dm³（或24 000 cm³）。利用这一气体摩尔体积可在摩尔和气体体积之间进行换算。

volume (dm³) = moles × 24    or    moles = volume (dm³) / 24

体积（dm³）= 摩尔 × 24    或    摩尔 = 体积（dm³） / 24

Always check whether the volume is given in dm³ or cm³ and convert if necessary (1 dm³ = 1000 cm³). For reactions involving gases, use the mole ratio directly with volumes because equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of moles (Avogadro’s law).

务必检查给出的体积单位是 dm³ 还是 cm³，必要时进行换算（1 dm³ = 1000 cm³）。对于涉及气体的反应，可直接用体积比代替摩尔比，因为在相同温度与压力下，相同体积的气体含有相同的摩尔数（阿伏伽德罗定律）。

5. Concentration of Solutions | 溶液浓度计算

Concentration is the amount of solute dissolved per unit volume of solution. The most common unit in IGCSE is mol dm⁻³. The key formula links concentration, moles and volume in dm³.

浓度是单位体积溶液中溶质的物质的量。IGCSE中最常用的单位是 mol dm⁻³。核心公式将浓度、摩尔和体积（dm³）关联起来。

concentration (mol dm⁻³) = moles (mol) ÷ volume (dm³)    c = n / V

浓度（mol dm⁻³）= 摩尔（mol）÷ 体积（dm³）    c = n / V

You can also convert from mass concentration (g dm⁻³) to molarity: first calculate moles of solute, then divide by volume. To prepare a solution, weigh the required mass, dissolve and make up to the mark in a volumetric flask.

你也可以从质量浓度（g dm⁻³）换算为物质的量浓度：先计算溶质的摩尔，再除以体积。配制溶液时，称取所需质量，溶解后在容量瓶中定容至刻度线。

6. Titration Calculations | 滴定计算

Titration calculations are used to find the concentration of an unknown solution by reacting it with a solution of known concentration. The key is the balanced equation and the relationship: moles = concentration × volume (in dm³).

滴定计算利用已知浓度的溶液与未知溶液反应，来测定未知溶液的浓度。关键在于配平方程式和关系式：摩尔 = 浓度 × 体积（dm³）。

For a 1:1 reaction (e.g., HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O): c₁V₁ = c₂V₂, but only if volumes are both in dm³. When the mole ratio is not 1:1, you must use the mole ratio to relate the amounts.

对于1:1的反应（例如 HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O）：c₁V₁ = c₂V₂，但前提是两个体积单位都是 dm³。若摩尔比不是1:1，必须使用摩尔比来关联物质的量。

Example: 25.0 cm³ of NaOH solution is neutralised by 30.0 cm³ of 0.100 mol dm⁻³ HCl. Find the concentration of NaOH. Moles HCl = 0.100 × (30.0/1000) = 0.00300 mol. Mole ratio 1:1, so moles NaOH = 0.00300 mol. c(NaOH) = 0.00300 / (25.0/1000) = 0.120 mol dm⁻³.

例题：25.0 cm³ NaOH溶液被30.0 cm³ 0.100 mol dm⁻³ 的HCl中和。求NaOH的浓度。HCl摩尔 = 0.100 × (30.0/1000) = 0.00300 mol。摩尔比1:1，所以NaOH摩尔 = 0.00300 mol。c(NaOH) = 0.00300 / (25.0/1000) = 0.120 mol dm⁻³。

7. Percentage Yield and Atom Economy | 产率与原子经济

Percentage yield compares the actual mass of product obtained in an experiment to the theoretical mass calculated from the limiting reactant. Atom economy measures how efficiently atoms in the reactants are incorporated into the desired product.

产率是将实验中实际得到的产品质量与根据限制反应物计算的理论产量进行对比。原子经济衡量反应物中的原子有多少被有效利用到了目标产物中。

% yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) × 100%

产率 = (实际产量 / 理论产量) × 100%

% atom economy = (Mr of desired product / sum of Mr of all reactants) × 100%

原子经济 = （目标产物相对分子质量 / 所有反应物相对分子质量之和）× 100%

High atom economy means less waste and a more sustainable process. In industry, chemists aim for high yields and high atom economy to reduce costs and environmental impact.

原子经济高意味着废弃物少、过程更可持续。在工业生产中，化学家追求高收率和高原子经济，以降低成本，减少对环境的影响。

8. Enthalpy Change Calculations (Calorimetry) | 焓变计算（量热法）

Enthalpy changes for reactions in solution can be determined using a simple calorimeter. The heat energy transferred is calculated from the temperature change of the water or solution using the specific heat capacity.

溶液中的反应焓变可通过简易量热计测定。利用水的比热容和温度变化，计算传递的热量。

heat energy (Q) = mass of water (g) × specific heat capacity (4.2 J g⁻¹ °C⁻¹) × temperature change (ΔT, °C)

热量（Q）= 水的质量（g）× 比热容（4.2 J g⁻¹ °C⁻¹）× 温度变化（ΔT，°C）

Q = m × c × ΔT

Then calculate the molar enthalpy change: ΔH = -Q / n, where n is the number of moles of the limiting reactant that reacted. The negative sign shows that exothermic reactions release heat. ΔH is often expressed in kJ mol⁻¹ after converting Q from joules to kilojoules.

然后计算摩尔焓变：ΔH = -Q / n，其中n是参与反应的限制反应物的摩尔数。负号表示放热反应释放热量。ΔH通常以 kJ mol⁻¹ 表示，需要将Q从焦耳换算为千焦。

9. Limiting Reactants | 限制性反应物

In a chemical reaction, the limiting reactant is the substance that is completely used up, and it determines the maximum amount of product that can form. The other reactant is said to be in excess.

在化学反应中，限制性反应物是首先被完全消耗的物质，它决定了能生成的最大产量。另一种反应物则为过量。

To identify the limiting reactant, calculate the moles of each reactant. Use the balanced equation to work out how many moles of one reactant are needed to fully react with the other. If the available moles are less than required, that reactant is limiting.

要确定限制性反应物，计算各反应物的摩尔。利用配平方程式求出一种反应物完全消耗所需另一种反应物的摩尔。如果实际摩尔小于所需摩尔，则该反应物为限制性反应物。

10. Percentage Composition by Mass | 质量百分比组成

Percentage composition gives the percentage by mass of each element in a compound. It can be calculated using relative atomic masses and the formula of the compound.

质量百分比组成表示化合物中各元素的质量百分数。可利用相对原子质量和化合物化学式进行计算。

% mass of element = (number of atoms of element × Ar / Mr of compound) × 100%

元素质量百分比 = （该元素原子个数 × Ar / 化合物的Mr）× 100%

Example: Calculate the percentage of magnesium in MgO. Ar(Mg)=24, Mr(MgO)=40. %Mg = (24/40)×100 = 60%.

例题：计算MgO中镁的质量百分数。Ar(Mg)=24，Mr(MgO)=40。%Mg = (24/40)×100 = 60%。

11. Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them | 常见错误与避免方法

Even strong students lose marks on calculations because of avoidable errors. The most common include: using the wrong unit for volume (cm³ instead of dm³), forgetting to convert masses to moles first, misapplying mole ratios, ignoring the limiting reactant, and rounding too early. Always write units next to numbers, check that your equation is balanced, and practise converting between cm³ and dm³ (÷1000). For enthalpy calculations, ensure you use the mass of the solution (water) and remember to divide Q by 1000 to get kJ.

即使是学得好的学生也会因为一些可避免的错误而失分。最常见的错误包括：体积单位用错（用 cm³ 而非 dm³），忘记先将质量转为摩尔，错误使用摩尔比，忽略限制性反应物，以及过早四舍五入。务必在数字后标注单位，确保方程式配平，并多加练习 cm³ 与 dm³ 之间的换算（÷1000）。做焓变计算时，要确保使用的是溶液（水）的质量，并记住将 Q 除以 1000 得到 kJ。

12. Practice Strategy for Top Marks | 高分练习策略

To excel in IGCSE Edexcel Chemistry calculations, consistent practice with past paper questions is essential. Start by mastering each formula individually, then tackle mixed exercises. Time yourself to improve speed and accuracy. Use examiner reports to understand where marks are awarded and what steps must be shown. Keep a formula sheet and regularly test yourself on fundamental relationships: n = m/M, c = n/V, volume = n × 24, and Q = mcΔT. The more systematically you practise, the more automatic these calculations will become.

要在IGCSE Edexcel化学计算题中取得高分，持续使用历年真题进行练习至关重要。先逐一掌握各个公式，再进行混合练习。计时作答以提高速度和准确性。通过阅卷报告了解得分点及必须展示的步骤。准备一份公式表，并定期自测基本关系式：n = m/M，c = n/V，体积 = n × 24，以及 Q = mcΔT。练习越有系统，这些计算就会变得越自然。
