1. Relative Atomic Mass and Formula Mass | 相对原子质量与化学式量
Relative atomic mass (Aᵣ) is the weighted average mass of an atom of an element compared to 1/12th of the mass of a carbon-12 atom. It has no units. To calculate the relative formula mass (Mᵣ) of a compound, sum the relative atomic masses of all atoms in the formula.
相对原子质量 (Aᵣ) 是一个元素原子的加权平均质量，与一个碳‑12 原子质量的 1/12 相比较，没有单位。要计算化合物的相对化学式量 (Mᵣ)，将化学式中所有原子的相对原子质量相加即可。
Steps to calculate formula mass:
- Write the correct chemical formula.
- Identify the number of atoms of each element.
- Multiply the Aᵣ of each element by the number of atoms.
- Add all the values together.
计算化学式量的步骤：
- 写出正确的化学式。
- 确定每种元素的原子个数。
- 将每种元素的 Aᵣ 乘以原子个数。
- 将所有数值相加。
Example: Calculate the Mᵣ of calcium carbonate, CaCO₃. (Aᵣ: Ca = 40, C = 12, O = 16)
Mᵣ(CaCO₃) = 40 + 12 + (3 × 16) = 100
这是一道常见热身题，几乎所有试卷中都会直接或间接用到化学式量。
2. The Mole and Avogadro’s Constant | 摩尔与阿伏伽德罗常数
One mole of any substance contains exactly 6.02 × 10²³ particles (atoms, molecules, ions or electrons). This number is called the Avogadro constant. The unit of the amount of substance is the mole (mol). The mass of one mole of a substance is its Mᵣ in grams.
1 摩尔任何物质恰好包含 6.02 × 10²³ 个粒子（原子、分子、离子或电子）。这个数称为阿伏伽德罗常数。物质的量的单位是摩尔（mol）。1 摩尔物质的质量就是它的相对化学式量所对应的克数。
For example, 1 mol of carbon atoms (Aᵣ = 12) has a mass of 12 g and contains 6.02 × 10²³ carbon atoms. Similarly, 1 mol of water (H₂O, Mᵣ = 18) has a mass of 18 g.
例如，1 mol 碳原子 (Aᵣ = 12) 的质量是 12 g，含有 6.02 × 10²³ 个碳原子。同样，1 mol 水 (H₂O, Mᵣ = 18) 的质量是 18 g。
The number of moles can be found by dividing the number of particles by Avogadro’s constant:
moles = number of particles ÷ (6.02 × 10²³)
摩尔数 = 粒子数量 ÷ (6.02 × 10²³)。这个关系常见于较简单的选择题或结构化问题中。
3. Converting Mass and Moles | 质量与摩尔转换
The central equation linking mass, molar mass and moles is:
moles (mol) = mass (g) ÷ molar mass (g/mol)
连接质量、摩尔质量和摩尔的核心方程式：摩尔 (mol) = 质量 (g) ÷ 摩尔质量 (g/mol)
You need to be confident rearranging this to find any of the three variables. For example, to find mass: mass = moles × molar mass. Always check that your units are consistent — mass in grams, molar mass in g/mol.
你必须自如地对公式变形以求出三者中的任何一个。例如，计算质量：质量 = 摩尔 × 摩尔质量。一定要检查单位一致性 —— 质量用克 (g)，摩尔质量用 g/mol。
Worked example: How many moles are there in 8.0 g of sodium hydroxide, NaOH? (Aᵣ: Na = 23, O = 16, H = 1)
Mᵣ(NaOH) = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40 g/mol
moles = 8.0 g ÷ 40 g/mol = 0.20 mol
例题：8.0 g 氢氧化钠 (NaOH) 中含有多少摩尔？Mᵣ = 40，摩尔 = 8.0/40 = 0.20 mol。
4. Reacting Mass Calculations | 反应质量计算
Reacting mass problems ask you to calculate the mass of one substance consumed or produced in a reaction, given the mass of another substance. The strategy always follows three key steps: write the balanced equation, convert known mass to moles, use the mole ratio from the equation, and finally convert moles of the target substance back to mass.
反应质量计算题要求你根据一种物质的质量，计算在反应中消耗或生成的另一种物质的质量。解题策略总是三步走：写出配平方程式，将已知质量换算为摩尔，利用方程式中的摩尔比，最后将目标物质的摩尔换算回质量。
Example: What mass of magnesium oxide (MgO) is formed when 4.8 g of magnesium burns completely in oxygen? (Aᵣ: Mg = 24, O = 16)
2Mg(s) + O₂(g) → 2MgO(s)
Moles of Mg = 4.8 ÷ 24 = 0.20 mol
Mole ratio Mg : MgO = 2 : 2, i.e. 1 : 1
Moles of MgO = 0.20 mol
Mᵣ(MgO) = 24 + 16 = 40 g/mol
Mass of MgO = 0.20 × 40 = 8.0 g
此类题目是 IGCSE 化学计算的核心，占分比例很高，务必熟练。
5. Gas Volume Calculations | 气体体积计算
At room temperature and pressure (r.t.p., 20 °C and 1 atm), one mole of any gas occupies 24 dm³ (or 24,000 cm³). This is called the molar gas volume. Using the relationship moles = volume ÷ 24 (if volume in dm³) is central to gas calculations.
在室温和常压 (r.t.p., 20 °C 和 1 atm) 下，1 摩尔任何气体占据 24 dm³（或 24,000 cm³），称为摩尔气体体积。核心关系式：摩尔 = 体积 ÷ 24（若体积用 dm³）。
Always check the units: if a volume is given in cm³, convert to dm³ by dividing by 1000 first. Typical exam questions ask for the volume of gas produced from a given mass of reactant, or the mass of reactant needed to produce a certain gas volume.
务必检查单位：如果题目给出的体积是 cm³，要先除以 1000 转换为 dm³。典型考题是求一定质量反应物产生的气体体积，或产生某一体积气体所需的反应物质量。
Example: What volume of hydrogen (at r.t.p.) is produced when 0.80 g of calcium reacts with excess water? (Aᵣ: Ca = 40)
Ca(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + H₂(g)
Moles of Ca = 0.80 ÷ 40 = 0.020 mol
Mole ratio Ca : H₂ = 1 : 1 → moles of H₂ = 0.020 mol
Volume of H₂ = 0.020 × 24 = 0.48 dm³ (or 480 cm³)
这类题目通常和反应质量计算结合在一起，形成多步骤问题。
6. Concentration of Solutions | 溶液浓度
Concentration is typically expressed in g/dm³ or mol/dm³. The fundamental equations are:
concentration (g/dm³) = mass of solute (g) ÷ volume of solution (dm³)
concentration (mol/dm³) = moles of solute (mol) ÷ volume (dm³)
连接两者的是摩尔质量：浓度 (mol/dm³) = 浓度 (g/dm³) ÷ 摩尔质量 (g/mol)。
To convert between cm³ and dm³, remember that 1 dm³ = 1000 cm³. Many questions will give the volume in cm³, so you must divide by 1000 before substituting into the formula.
体积单位转换要牢记 1 dm³ = 1000 cm³。很多题目给出的体积是 cm³，代入公式前必须先除以 1000。
Example: A student dissolves 5.85 g of NaCl (Mᵣ = 58.5) in water and makes the solution up to 250 cm³. Calculate the concentration in mol/dm³.
Volume in dm³ = 250 ÷ 1000 = 0.250 dm³
Moles of NaCl = 5.85 ÷ 58.5 = 0.100 mol
Concentration = 0.100 ÷ 0.250 = 0.400 mol/dm³
熟练这类换算后，就可以顺利进阶到滴定计算。
7. Titration Calculations | 滴定计算
Titration calculations link the concentration and volume of an acid and an alkali. The first step is to calculate the average titre volume, discarding any anomalous results (those that are not within 0.20 cm³ of each other). Then use the equation:
moles = concentration (mol/dm³) × volume (dm³)
滴定计算把酸和碱的浓度与体积联系起来。第一步是计算平均滴定体积，剔除异常数据（彼此差值大于 0.20 cm³ 的结果）。然后使用公式：摩尔 = 浓度 (mol/dm³) × 体积 (dm³)。
A typical three-titre results table might be:
| Titration | Rough | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| Final reading / cm³ | 25.10 | 24.55 | 24.60 | 24.50 |
| Initial reading / cm³ | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
| Titre / cm³ | 25.10 | 24.55 | 24.60 | 24.50 |
Average titre = (24.55 + 24.60) ÷ 2 = 24.575 cm³ ≈ 24.6 cm³. (The first titre 25.10 cm³ is the rough titration and is not included in the average.)
平均滴定体积 = (24.55 + 24.60) ÷ 2 = 24.575 cm³ ≈ 24.6 cm³。第一个滴定值 25.10 cm³ 是粗滴定，不参与平均。
Then use the balanced equation to find the mole ratio. For a standard acid–base titration, H⁺ + OH⁻ → H₂O, the ratio may be 1:1 or 1:2 depending on the acid (e.g., H₂SO₄ provides 2 H⁺ per mole).
然后利用配平方程式找出摩尔比。对于标准酸碱滴定 H⁺ + OH⁻ → H₂O，根据酸的性质，摩尔比可能是 1:1 或 1:2（如 H₂SO₄ 每摩尔提供 2 个 H⁺）。
8. Empirical and Molecular Formulae | 实验式与分子式
The empirical formula is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound. It can be determined from percentage composition or from mass data. The molecular formula is a multiple of the empirical formula and requires the Mᵣ of the compound.
实验式是化合物中各原子最简单的整数比。它可以通过质量分数或质量数据求得。分子式是实验式的整数倍，需要化合物的相对分子质量 Mᵣ 来确定。
Method for finding empirical formula:
- Divide the mass (or percentage) of each element by its Aᵣ.
- Divide each result by the smallest number to obtain the ratio.
- If necessary, multiply to get whole numbers.
求实验式的方法：将各元素的质量（或质量分数）除以各自的 Aᵣ；然后各除以最小的一个数值，得到比；必要时乘上适当整数得到最简整数比。
Example: A compound contains 40.0% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen and 53.3% oxygen by mass. Find its empirical formula. (Aᵣ: C = 12, H = 1, O = 16)
C: 40.0 ÷ 12 = 3.33; H: 6.7 ÷ 1 = 6.7; O: 53.3 ÷ 16 = 3.33
Divide by 3.33: C = 1, H ≈ 2, O = 1 → empirical formula CH₂O
若该化合物的 Mᵣ = 180，则分子式将是实验式的 6 倍：C₆H₁₂O₆。
9. Percentage Yield | 产率
Percentage yield compares the actual mass of product obtained from an experiment to the theoretical mass calculated from the reacting masses. It is always less than 100% due to incomplete reactions, side reactions or practical losses during purification.
产率是实验中实际获得的产品质量与根据反应质量计算出的理论产量之比。由于反应不完全、副反应或纯化过程中的损失，产率总是低于 100%。
percentage yield = (actual yield ÷ theoretical yield) × 100%
公式：产率 = (实际产量 ÷ 理论产量) × 100%
A typical question gives the mass of a reactant, asks you to calculate the theoretical mass of product, and then provides the actual mass obtained. Be careful to relate both yields to the same product.
常见题型给出反应物的质量，要求计算理论产量，再给出实际获得的产品质量。注意实际产量和理论产量必须对应同一种产物。
Example: In the reaction 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO, 4.8 g of Mg produced 6.4 g of MgO. Calculate the percentage yield. (Aᵣ: Mg = 24, O = 16)
Theoretical mass of MgO = (4.8 ÷ 24) × 40 = 8.0 g
Yield = (6.4 ÷ 8.0) × 100% = 80%
始终要写出清晰的计算步骤以获得全部分数。
10. Atom Economy | 原子经济
Atom economy measures the efficiency of a reaction in terms of how much of the mass of reactants is converted into the desired product. It is a key concept in green chemistry and is calculated using the balanced equation:
atom economy = (Mᵣ of desired product ÷ sum of Mᵣ of all reactants) × 100%
原子经济衡量的是在反应中，有多少反应物质量转化为目标产物。它是绿色化学中的一个核心概念，计算基于配平方程式：原子经济 = (目标产物的 Mᵣ ÷ 所有反应物 Mᵣ 之和) × 100%。
Always use the molar mass of all reactants shown in the balanced equation. Side products that are not desired reduce the atom economy. Edexcel exam questions often ask you to compare two production methods to decide which is more sustainable.
务必使用配平方程式中所有反应物的摩尔质量。非目标副产物会降低原子经济。Edexcel 考试中常要求比较两种生产方法，判断哪一种更具可持续性。
Example: Calculate the atom economy for making iron (Fe) in the blast furnace reaction: Fe₂O₃ + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO₂. (Aᵣ: Fe = 56, O = 16, C = 12)
Mᵣ(Fe₂O₃) = 160; Mᵣ(3CO) = 3 × 28 = 84; total reactants Mᵣ = 160 + 84 = 244
Desired product Mᵣ = 2 × 56 = 112
Atom economy = (112 ÷ 244) × 100% = 45.9%
注意区分原子经济与产率 —— 前者是设计层面的效率，后者是实际操作层面的效率。
11. Calculating Enthalpy Change | 焓变计算
The energy change in a chemical reaction can be determined by measuring a temperature change and using the equation:
q = m × c × ΔT
where q is heat energy (J), m is the mass of the solution (g), c is the specific heat capacity (usually 4.2 J/g°C for water), and ΔT is the temperature change (°C).
化学反应的能量变化可以通过测量温度变化并利用公式 q = m × c × ΔT 来确定。其中 q 为热量 (J)，m 为溶液的质量 (g)，c 为比热容 (水通常取 4.2 J/g°C)，ΔT 为温度变化 (°C)。
To find the molar enthalpy change (ΔH, in kJ/mol), divide the heat energy by the number of moles of the limiting reactant, and convert J to kJ by dividing by 1000. If the temperature increased, the reaction is exothermic (ΔH negative); if decreased, endothermic (ΔH positive).
要计算摩尔焓变 (ΔH，单位 kJ/mol)，将热量值除以限量反应物的摩尔数，并将 J 除以 1000 转化为 kJ。温度升高表明反应放热 (ΔH 为负)，温度降低表明吸热 (ΔH 为正)。
Example: When 2.00 g of sodium hydroxide is dissolved in 100 cm³ of water, the temperature rises from 21.0 °C to 26.5 °C. Calculate the molar enthalpy change of solution. (Aᵣ: Na = 23, O = 16, H = 1; assume density of solution = 1.00 g/cm³)
m = 100 g; ΔT = 5.5 °C; q = 100 × 4.2 × 5.5 = 2310 J
Moles of NaOH = 2.00 ÷ 40 = 0.0500 mol
ΔH = – (2310 ÷ 1000) ÷ 0.0500 = -46.2 kJ/mol (exothermic)
这类计算常见于化学反应中的热量测量和数据记录题。
12. Checking Purity and Combined Calculations | 纯度检验与综合计算
Some questions present an impure sample and ask you to calculate the percentage purity of a compound. The method is to use reacting masses to find the mass of pure compound that actually reacted, then compare it to the initial mass of sample. Percentage purity = (mass of pure compound ÷ mass of impure sample) × 100%.
有些题目会给一个不纯的样品，要求计算物质的百分纯度。方法是利用反应质量求出实际反应的纯物质质量，再与初始样品质量进行对比。纯度 = (纯物质质量 ÷ 不纯样品质量) × 100%。
In the Edexcel IGCSE, it is common to see questions that combine two or more of the above calculation types — for example, a reacting mass calculation followed by a gas volume calculation, or a titration that requires converting cm³ to dm³ and then applying concentration equations. The key is to stay organised, write down each step clearly, and always show your working.
在 Edexcel IGCSE 考试中，常会出现综合多种计算类型的题目 —— 比如先进行反应质量计算，再求气体体积；或是滴定题中需将 cm³ 换算为 dm³，再运用浓度公式。关键在于条理清晰，逐步书写过程并确保计算过程完整展现。
Practise by setting out a three-column method: balanced equation → moles → masses/volumes/concentrations. This structured approach will help you solve even the most daunting calculation problems accurately.
建议平时练习采用三栏法：配平方程式 → 摩尔 → 质量/体积/浓度。这种结构化的方法能帮助你准确解决最复杂的计算问题。
