1. 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, while the molecular formula gives the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule. For an organic compound containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, the relative numbers of moles of C, H and O can be found from combustion data or percentage composition. The molecular formula is obtained by comparing the empirical formula mass with the relative molecular mass, Mᵣ, often obtained from mass spectrometry.
经验式表示化合物中各原子的最简整数比，而分子式给出分子中各元素的实际原子个数。对于含碳、氢、氧的有机物，可以通过燃烧数据或百分组成求出C、H、O的物质的量之比。将经验式质量与通常由质谱得到的相对分子质量Mᵣ进行比较，即可得到分子式。
Worked example: 0.400 g of an organic compound containing only C, H and O is completely burned. The products are 0.880 g of CO₂ and 0.360 g of H₂O. Find the empirical formula. (Aᵣ: H = 1.0, C = 12.0, O = 16.0)
例题：0.400 g只含C、H、O的有机物完全燃烧，生成0.880 g CO₂和0.360 g H₂O。求经验式。（原子量：H=1.0，C=12.0，O=16.0）
Moles of C = mass of CO₂ ÷ 44.0 = 0.880/44.0 = 0.0200 mol. Moles of H = 2 × (mass of H₂O ÷ 18.0) = 2 × (0.360/18.0) = 0.0400 mol. Mass of C = 0.0200 × 12.0 = 0.240 g; mass of H = 0.0400 × 1.0 = 0.040 g. Mass of O in compound = 0.400 − (0.240 + 0.040) = 0.120 g. Moles of O = 0.120 ÷ 16.0 = 0.00750 mol. Divide by the smallest (0.00750): C = 0.0200/0.00750 = 2.67, H = 0.0400/0.00750 = 5.33, O = 1. Multiply by 3 to obtain whole numbers: empirical formula = C₈H₁₆O₃.
C的物质的量 = 0.880/44.0 = 0.0200 mol。H的物质的量 = 2×(0.360/18.0) = 0.0400 mol。C的质量 = 0.0200×12.0 = 0.240 g；H的质量 = 0.0400×1.0 = 0.040 g。化合物中O的质量 = 0.400−(0.240+0.040) = 0.120 g。O的物质的量 = 0.120/16.0 = 0.00750 mol。除以最小值(0.00750)：C=2.67，H=5.33，O=1。乘以3得整数，经验式为C₈H₁₆O₃。
2. Combustion Analysis in Practice | 燃烧分析实战
Combustion analysis is routinely used to determine the empirical formula of a pure organic liquid or solid. The sample is burnt in a stream of dry oxygen, and the water vapour and carbon dioxide produced are absorbed separately in pre‑weighed tubes containing a drying agent (e.g. anhydrous calcium chloride) and a CO₂ absorber (e.g. soda‑lime or KOH). The mass increases give the masses of H₂O and CO₂. If the compound contains nitrogen, the nitrogen gas volume can be measured directly; if it contains sulfur or halogens, additional absorption tubes are used.
燃烧分析常用于测定纯有机液体或固体的经验式。样品在干燥氧气流中燃烧，生成的水蒸气和二氧化碳分别被预先称重且装有干燥剂（如无水氯化钙）和CO₂吸收剂（如碱石灰或KOH）的管子吸收。吸收管的增重即为H₂O和CO₂的质量。如果化合物含有氮，可直接测量氮气体积；若含硫或卤素，则需使用额外的吸收管。
Key steps for exam calculations: (i) Convert mass of CO₂ to moles of C. (ii) Convert mass of H₂O to moles of H (remembering each mole of H₂O contains two moles of H atoms). (iii) If oxygen is present, find its mass by subtracting the masses of C and H from the sample mass. (iv) Simplify the mole ratio to the smallest whole numbers. Always use the provided relative atomic masses and quote your answer to an appropriate number of significant figures.
考试计算关键步骤：(i) 将CO₂质量换算为C的物质的量。(ii) 将H₂O质量换算为H的物质的量（切记每摩尔H₂O含2 mol H原子）。(iii) 若含氧，用样品质量减去C和H的质量得到O的质量。(iv) 将物质的量之比化为最简整数比。务必使用题目提供的相对原子质量，并给出适当有效数字的结果。
3. Using Mass Spectrometry to Find the Molecular Formula | 利用质谱确定分子式
Mass spectrometry provides the relative molecular mass, Mᵣ, from the molecular ion peak (M⁺). For organic molecules, the peak with the highest m/z value (ignoring tiny M+1 peaks) usually corresponds to the molecular ion. Once the empirical formula mass is calculated, dividing Mᵣ by the empirical mass gives a multiplier n. The molecular formula is (empirical formula)ₙ.
质谱通过分子离子峰（M⁺）提供相对分子质量Mᵣ。对于有机物，m/z值最高的峰（忽略微小的M+1峰）通常对应分子离子。计算出经验式质量后，用Mᵣ除以经验式质量得到倍数n，分子式即为(经验式)ₙ。
For halogenoalkanes, the presence of chlorine or bromine gives characteristic isotope patterns. The M : M+2 ratio for a compound containing one chlorine atom is approximately 3 : 1; for one bromine atom it is about 1 : 1. By comparing the relative intensities of the molecular ion peaks, you can determine the number of halogen atoms, which helps in deducing the molecular formula.
对于卤代烷，氯或溴的存在会产生特征同位素峰形。含一个氯原子的化合物M : M+2的比例约为3:1；含一个溴原子时约为1:1。通过比较分子离子峰的相对强度，可以确定卤原子数目，这有助于推断分子式。
Example: An organic compound is found to have an empirical formula CH₂Cl and a molecular ion peak at m/z = 99 (with an M+2 peak about one‑third the height). The empirical mass = 12.0 + 2(1.0) + 35.5 = 49.5. Multiplier n = 99 ÷ 49.5 ≈ 2. Hence the molecular formula is C₂H₄Cl₂. The isotope pattern confirms two Cl atoms.
示例：某有机物的经验式为CH₂Cl，分子离子峰m/z = 99，且M+2峰高度约为M峰的三分之一。经验式质量 = 12.0+2(1.0)+35.5 = 49.5。倍数n = 99÷49.5 ≈ 2，故分子式为C₂H₄Cl₂。同位素峰形证实存在两个氯原子。
4. Calculating Percentage Yield in Organic Synthesis | 有机合成中的产率计算
Percentage yield is a measure of the efficiency of a reaction, given by: % yield = (actual mass of product / theoretical mass of product) × 100. The theoretical yield is calculated from the stoichiometry of the balanced equation, assuming the limiting reagent is completely converted. Organic reactions often have yields below 100% because of side reactions, incomplete conversion, or loss during purification.
百分产率是衡量反应效率的指标：产率 = (实际产物质量 / 理论产物质量) × 100%。理论产量根据配平方程式中的计量关系计算，并假设限量试剂完全转化。有机反应的产率常低于100%，因为会发生副反应、转化不完全或纯化过程中的损失。
Worked example: In a preparation of ethyl ethanoate, 2.30 g of ethanol (Mᵣ = 46.0) were reacted with an excess of ethanoic acid. After purification, 2.10 g of the ester (Mᵣ = 88.0) were obtained. Calculate the percentage yield. Step 1: moles of ethanol = 2.30 / 46.0 = 0.0500 mol. The 1 : 1 stoichiometry gives theoretical moles of ester = 0.0500 mol. Theoretical mass = 0.0500 × 88.0 = 4.40 g. % yield = (2.10 / 4.40) × 100 = 47.7%.
例题：在乙酸乙酯的制备中，2.30 g乙醇（Mᵣ=46.0）与过量乙酸反应。纯化后得到2.10 g酯（Mᵣ=88.0）。计算百分产率。步骤1：乙醇的物质的量 = 2.30/46.0 = 0.0500 mol。1:1计量比给出酯的理论物质的量为0.0500 mol。理论质量 = 0.0500×88.0 = 4.40 g。产率 = (2.10/4.40)×100 = 47.7%。
Always identify the limiting reagent when reactant amounts of both reagents are given. If one reactant is in excess, the other determines the theoretical yield. Quote yields to an appropriate precision.
当同时给出两种反应物的量时，一定要先确定限量试剂。若某反应物过量，则另一种决定理论产量。产率结果应给出合适的有效数字。
5. Atom Economy of Organic Reactions | 有机反应的原子经济性
Atom economy evaluates how efficiently reactant atoms are incorporated into the desired product. It is defined as: % atom economy = (molar mass of desired product / sum of molar masses of all reactants) × 100. Addition reactions (e.g. electrophilic addition of HBr to ethene) typically have 100% atom economy, while substitution and elimination reactions generate by‑products and so have lower values. High atom economy is desirable in green chemistry because it reduces waste.
原子经济性衡量反应物原子被整合到目标产物中的效率。其定义为：原子经济性 = (目标产物摩尔质量 / 所有反应物摩尔质量总和) × 100%。加成反应（如HBr与乙烯的亲电加成）通常具有100%的原子经济性，而取代和消除反应会产生副产物，因此数值较低。高原子经济性符合绿色化学理念，因为它减少了废弃物。
Example: The reaction C₂H₅Br + NaOH → C₂H₅OH + NaBr has a desired product ethanol (Mᵣ = 46.0). Sum of reactant masses = (109.0 + 40.0) = 149.0. Atom economy = (46.0 / 149.0) × 100 = 30.9%. The low value reflects the formation of NaBr as waste. In contrast, hydration of ethene (C₂H₄ + H₂O → C₂H₅OH) has atom economy = 46.0 / (28.0 + 18.0) × 100 = 100%.
示例：反应C₂H₅Br + NaOH → C₂H₅OH + NaBr的目标产物为乙醇（Mᵣ=46.0）。反应物质量总和 = 109.0+40.0 = 149.0。原子经济性 = (46.0/149.0)×100 = 30.9%。数值较低是因为产生了NaBr废弃物。相比之下，乙烯水合（C₂H₄ + H₂O → C₂H₅OH）的原子经济性 = 46.0/(28.0+18.0)×100 = 100%。
In exam questions you may be asked to calculate atom economy and then discuss the environmental or economic advantages of one synthetic route over another. Be ready to link high atom economy to sustainability.
考题可能会要求你计算原子经济性，并讨论某条合成路线相对于另一条的环境或经济优势。要会联系高原子经济性与可持续性。
6. Stoichiometry and Limiting Reagents in Organic Contexts | 有机情境中的化学计量与限量试剂
Balanced equations are central to all mole calculations. In organic chemistry, you will encounter equations for combustion, substitution, elimination, addition, esterification and hydrolysis. Always check the balancing of atoms, especially oxygen and hydrogen, before performing any mole conversions. Use the stoichiometric coefficients to convert between moles of different substances.
配平方程式是所有摩尔计算的核心。在有机化学中，你会遇到燃烧、取代、消除、加成、酯化和水解等反应的方程式。在进行任何摩尔转换之前，务必核对原子的配平，特别是氧和氢。利用计量系数在反应物和产物的物质的量之间进行换算。
Limiting reagent problems: when masses or moles of two reactants are given, calculate which one will run out first. Write the balanced equation, determine moles of each reactant, divide by the respective stoichiometric coefficient, and pick the smallest value. The substance giving the smallest value is the limiting reagent, and it determines the maximum amount of product. This concept often appears in synthesis calculations and is essential for accurate yield predictions.
限量试剂问题：当给出两种反应物的质量或物质的量时，要判断哪种先消耗完。写出配平方程式，计算各反应物的物质的量，除以各自的计量系数，取最小值。对应物质即为限量试剂，它决定了产物的最大量。这一概念经常出现在合成计算中，是准确预测产率的关键。
Example: 3.00 g of propan‑1‑ol (Mᵣ = 60.0) are heated with 4.00 g of ethanoic acid (Mᵣ = 60.0) in the presence of an acid catalyst. Equation: CH₃COOH + C₃H₇OH ⇌ CH₃COOC₃H₇ + H₂O. Moles of acid = 4.00/60.0 = 0.0667 mol; moles of alcohol = 3.00/60.0 = 0.0500 mol. Stoichiometric ratio is 1:1, so propan‑1‑ol is the limiting reagent. Theoretical moles of ester = 0.0500 mol.
例题：将3.00 g正丙醇（Mᵣ=60.0）与4.00 g乙酸（Mᵣ=60.0）在酸催化下加热。方程式：CH₃COOH + C₃H₇OH ⇌ CH₃COOC₃H₇ + H₂O。酸的物质的量 = 4.00/60.0 = 0.0667 mol；醇的物质的量 = 3.00/60.0 = 0.0500 mol。计量比为1:1，故正丙醇为限量试剂。酯的理论物质的量 = 0.0500 mol。
7. Gas Volume Calculations in Organic Reactions | 有机反应中的气体体积计算
At room temperature and pressure (RTP, 25 °C and 100 kPa), one mole of any gas occupies a volume of approximately 24.0 dm³. This molar gas volume is used to convert between moles and volumes of gaseous reactants or products. Many organic reactions produce or consume gases, such as the combustion of hydrocarbons, decarboxylation reactions, or the production of CO₂ in fermentation.
在室温和常压（RTP，25 °C、100 kPa）下，1 mol任何气体所占体积约为24.0 dm³。该气体摩尔体积可用于气体反应物或产物的物质的量与体积之间的换算。许多有机反应会产生或消耗气体，例如烃的燃烧、脱羧反应或发酵中CO₂的产生。
Combustion example: The complete combustion of propane is represented by C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O. What volume of carbon dioxide, measured at RTP, is produced when 0.0200 mol of propane is burned? From the equation, 1 mol C₃H₈ yields 3 mol CO₂, so 0.0200 mol propane yields 0.0600 mol CO₂. Volume of CO₂ = 0.0600 × 24.0 = 1.44 dm³.
燃烧示例：丙烷的完全燃烧方程式为C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O。当燃烧0.0200 mol丙烷时，在RTP下产生多少体积的二氧化碳？由方程式知1 mol C₃H₈生成3 mol CO₂，故0.0200 mol丙烷生成0.0600 mol CO₂。CO₂体积 = 0.0600×24.0 = 1.44 dm³。
If conditions are not at RTP, use the ideal gas equation pV = nRT, but OxfordAQA AS questions typically focus on the molar volume at RTP. When a gas is collected over water, a correction for water vapour pressure may be needed; however, this is less common at AS level.
若条件不是RTP，需使用理想气体状态方程pV = nRT，但OxfordAQA的AS题目通常集中在RTP下的摩尔体积。如果气体用排水法收集，可能需要校正水蒸气压力，但这在AS阶段较少见。
8. Determining Molecular Formula from IR and Mass Spectra | 结合红外光谱和质谱确定分子式
Infrared (IR) spectroscopy reveals functional groups present in a molecule, while mass spectrometry gives the molecular mass and fragmentation pattern. Together they can be used to narrow down the identity of an unknown organic compound, and when combined with combustion analysis data they allow the molecular formula to be confirmed.
红外光谱（IR）揭示分子中存在的官能团，质谱则给出分子质量和碎片模式。两者结合可以缩小未知有机物的范围，若再结合燃烧分析数据，便可确认分子式。
Typical approach: (i) Use the mass spectrum to find the molecular ion peak, which gives Mᵣ. (ii) From combustion data, calculate the empirical formula. (iii) Compare the empirical formula mass with Mᵣ to deduce the molecular formula. (iv) Use the IR spectrum to identify key bonds (e.g. broad O–H at ~3300 cm⁻¹, C=O at ~1700 cm⁻¹, C–O at ~1000–1300 cm⁻¹) and thus propose a structure. (v) Check if the structure is consistent with any additional information, such as the presence of stereoisomerism or reactions with specific reagents.
一般步骤：(i) 用质谱找出分子离子峰，得到Mᵣ。(ii) 由燃烧数据计算经验式。(iii) 将经验式质量与Mᵣ比较得出分子式。(iv) 利用IR光谱识别关键化学键（如3300 cm⁻¹附近的宽O–H峰、1700 cm⁻¹附近的C=O、1000–1300 cm⁻¹的C–O），从而提出结构。(v) 检验该结构是否与额外信息相符，例如是否存在立体异构现象或与特定试剂的反应。
Example: An organic compound X has M⁺ at m/z = 88. IR absorption at 1715 cm⁻¹ and broad absorption at 2500–3300 cm⁻¹. Combustion of 0.440 g of X gave 0.880 g CO₂ and 0.360 g H₂O. From the combustion data, empirical formula is C₂H₄O (see worked example earlier, adjusted for mass). Mᵣ = 88, empirical mass = 44, so n = 2 → molecular formula C₄H₈O₂. The C=O and broad O–H indicate a carboxylic acid; possible structure is butanoic acid, C₃H₇COOH.
示例：有机物X的M⁺峰在m/z = 88。IR吸收：1715 cm⁻¹和2500–3300 cm⁻¹的宽峰。燃烧0.440 g X得0.880 g CO₂和0.360 g H₂O。由燃烧数据得到经验式C₂H₄O（质量合适），Mᵣ=88，经验式质量=44，n=2 → 分子式C₄H₈O₂。C=O和宽O–H表明是羧酸；可能的结构是丁酸C₃H₇COOH。
9. Integrated Problem: Solving an Unknown Organic Compound | 综合解题：推断未知有机物
OxfordAQA topic tests often include a multi‑step problem where you must deduce the structure of an organic molecule from a combination of quantitative data and qualitative tests. A typical question might provide: percentage composition by mass, mass spectrum, IR data, and some chemical reactions (e.g. decolourises bromine water, forms a precipitate with 2,4‑DNPH, or gives a positive iodoform test).
OxfordAQA的专题测试中经常会出现多步骤综合题，要求你根据定量数据和定性测试推断有机分子的结构。典型的题干可能包括：元素质量百分组成、质谱、IR数据以及某些化学反应（如使溴水褪色、与2,4‑二硝基苯肼生成沉淀，或碘仿反应呈阳性）。
Worked case study: Compound Y contains C, H and O only. Its mass spectrum shows a molecular ion at m/z = 74. The IR spectrum displays a strong peak at 1720 cm⁻¹ and a broad absorption at 3350 cm⁻¹. Combustion of 1.48 g Y yields 2.64 g CO₂ and 1.08 g H₂O. Y reacts with sodium to produce hydrogen gas. Determine the molecular formula and suggest a structural formula.
实例分析：化合物Y只含C、H、O。其质谱显示分子离子峰m/z = 74。IR光谱在1720 cm⁻¹有强峰，在3350 cm⁻¹有宽吸收。燃烧1.48 g Y生成2.64 g CO₂和1.08 g H₂O。Y与钠反应产生氢气。确定分子式并给出结构式建议。
Step 1 – combustion: moles C = 2.64/44.0 = 0.0600 mol; mass C = 0.720 g. Moles H = 2 × (1.08/18.0) = 0.120 mol; mass H = 0.120 g. Mass O = 1.48 – (0.720 + 0.120) = 0.640 g; moles O = 0.640/16.0 = 0.0400 mol. Ratio C : H : O = 0.0600 : 0.120 : 0.0400 = 3 : 6 : 2. Empirical formula = C₃H₆O₂, empirical mass = 74. Since Mᵣ = 74, molecular formula = C₃H₆O₂. IR peaks: 1720 cm⁻¹ → C=O (carbonyl), 3350 cm⁻¹ → O–H (alcohol or carboxylic acid). Reacts with Na → H₂, so –OH group present. The compound could be an ester (no O–H), but the O–H band indicates an acid or alcohol. Given the formula and the C=O, a carboxylic acid or a hydroxy‑ketone is possible. C₃H₆O₂ as a carboxylic acid would be propanoic acid (C₂H₅COOH), which contains an O–H and a C=O – consistent. Alternatively, a hydroxy‑ketone like hydroxypropanone also fits. Further chemical tests (e.g. acidity, iodoform test) would distinguish. The question often guides you to one answer; propanoic acid is the simplest match.
步骤1 – 燃烧分析：C的物质的量 = 2.64/44.0 = 0.0600 mol；C的质量 = 0.720 g。
