1. Mole Concept and Stoichiometry | 摩尔概念与化学计量学

The mole, symbol mol, is the SI unit for amount of substance. One mole contains exactly 6.022 × 10²³ specified particles (Avogadro constant). The number of moles n is related to mass m and molar mass M by n = m / M.

摩尔（符号 mol）是物质的量的 SI 单位。1 摩尔精确含有 6.022 × 10²³ 个指定的粒子（阿伏伽德罗常数）。摩尔数 n 与质量 m、摩尔质量 M 的关系为 n = m / M。

n = m / M

For a solid, if you weigh 10.6 g of Na₂CO₃ (M = 106.0 g mol⁻¹), the amount is 10.6 / 106.0 = 0.100 mol. All stoichiometric calculations start by converting given quantities into moles.

对于固体，若称取 10.6 g Na₂CO₃（M = 106.0 g mol⁻¹），物质的量为 10.6 / 106.0 = 0.100 mol。所有化学计量计算都从将已知量转换为摩尔开始。

The balanced equation gives mole ratios. For 2Al + 3Cl₂ → 2AlCl₃, 2 mol Al need 3 mol Cl₂ to form 2 mol AlCl₃. Using the ratio, you can determine the limiting reagent and theoretical yield.

配平的方程式提供了摩尔比。对于 2Al + 3Cl₂ → 2AlCl₃，2 mol Al 需要 3 mol Cl₂ 生成 2 mol AlCl₃。利用摩尔比，可以判断限制反应物并计算理论产量。

A typical stoichiometry pathway: mass of known → moles of known → (via mole ratio) moles of unknown → mass/volume/concentration of unknown. Always check units.

典型的化学计量路径：已知物质量 → 已知物摩尔 →（通过摩尔比）未知物摩尔 → 未知物的质量/体积/浓度。注意检查单位。

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. It is found from percentage composition or combustion data. Convert % to mass (assume 100 g sample), divide by relative atomic mass to get moles, then divide each by the smallest mole value.

经验式表示化合物中各原子的最简整数比。它可由质量百分组成或燃烧数据求得。将百分数转化为质量（假设 100 g 样品），除以相对原子质量得到摩尔数，再分别除以最小摩尔数。

Element moles = mass (g) / Aᵣ

Example: a compound is 40.0% C, 6.7% H, 53.3% O. C: 40.0/12.0 = 3.33; H: 6.7/1.0 = 6.7; O: 53.3/16.0 = 3.33. Ratio 1 : 2 : 1 → empirical formula CH₂O.

示例：某化合物含 40.0% C、6.7% H、53.3% O。C: 40.0/12.0=3.33; H: 6.7/1.0=6.7; O: 53.3/16.0=3.33。比值为 1:2:1 → 经验式 CH₂O。

The molecular formula is a whole‑number multiple of the empirical formula. The multiplier n = relative molecular mass (Mᵣ) / empirical formula mass. If Mᵣ = 60, n = 60/30 = 2, giving C₂H₄O₂.

分子式是经验式的整数倍。倍数 n = 相对分子质量（Mᵣ）/ 经验式质量。若 Mᵣ = 60，则 n = 60/30 = 2，得到分子式 C₂H₄O₂。

3. Gas Calculations (Molar Volume and Ideal Gas) | 气体计算（摩尔体积与理想气体）

At room temperature and pressure (RTP, 20 °C, 1 atm), one mole of any gas occupies 24 dm³ (24 000 cm³). The moles of a gas can be calculated using n = V / Vₘ, where Vₘ = 24 dm³ mol⁻¹.

在常温常压下（RTP, 20 °C, 1 atm），任何气体 1 mol 的体积为 24 dm³（24 000 cm³）。气体的摩尔数可用 n = V / Vₘ 计算，其中 Vₘ = 24 dm³ mol⁻¹。

n = V (dm³) / 24

For non‑standard conditions, the ideal gas equation pV = nRT must be used. p is pressure in pascals (Pa), V is volume in m³, T is temperature in kelvin (K), R = 8.31 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹.

对于非标准条件，必须使用理想气体状态方程 pV = nRT。p 为压强（Pa），V 为体积（m³），T 为温度（K），R = 8.31 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹。

pV = nRT

Ensure unit conversions: 1 m³ = 10³ dm³; 0 °C = 273 K; 1 atm = 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa. If 0.50 mol of gas at 25 °C occupies 12 dm³, p = nRT/V = (0.50×8.31×298) / 0.012 = 1.03 × 10⁵ Pa.

注意单位换算：1 m³ = 10³ dm³；0 °C = 273 K；1 atm = 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa。若 0.50 mol 气体在 25 °C 占据 12 dm³，则 p = (0.50×8.31×298) / 0.012 = 1.03 × 10⁵ Pa。

4. Solutions and Titration | 溶液与滴定

Concentration c (mol dm⁻³) is defined as n / V, where n is moles of solute and V is volume of solution in dm³. A 0.200 mol dm⁻³ solution contains 0.200 mol of solute per 1 dm³ of solution.

浓度 c（mol dm⁻³）定义为 n / V，其中 n 是溶质的摩尔数，V 是溶液体积（dm³）。0.200 mol dm⁻³ 的溶液表示每 1 dm³ 溶液含溶质 0.200 mol。

c = n / V (mol dm⁻³)

In a titration, when 25.0 cm³ of NaOH reacts with 20.0 cm³ of 0.100 mol dm⁻³ HCl, the moles of HCl used = 0.100 × 0.0200 = 0.00200 mol. With a 1:1 ratio, NaOH moles = 0.00200, so concentration of NaOH = 0.00200 / 0.0250 = 0.0800 mol dm⁻³.

在滴定中，若 25.0 cm³ NaOH 与 20.0 cm³ 0.100 mol dm⁻³ HCl 反应，所用 HCl 摩尔 = 0.100 × 0.0200 = 0.00200 mol。因 1:1 反应，NaOH 摩尔亦为 0.00200，故 NaOH 浓度 = 0.00200 / 0.0250 = 0.0800 mol dm⁻³。

Always convert volumes to dm³ (divide by 1000) and use consistent units for the mole ratio from the balanced equation.

始终将体积换算为 dm³（除以 1000），并依据配平方程式的摩尔比进行运算。

5. Percentage Yield and Atom Economy | 百分产率与原子经济性

Percentage yield compares the actual mass of product obtained to the theoretical mass predicted by stoichiometry. Yield = (actual mass / theoretical mass) × 100%.

百分产率将实际获得的产品质量与按化学计量预测的理论质量进行比较。产率 = (实际质量 / 理论质量) × 100%。

% Yield = (actual / theoretical) × 100

Atom economy evaluates how efficiently reactant atoms are incorporated into the desired product, measured for a specific reaction pathway. Atom economy = (molar mass of desired product / sum of molar masses of all reactants) × 100%.

原子经济性评估反应物原子被有效纳入目标产物的效率，针对特定反应路径衡量。原子经济性 = (目标产物的摩尔质量 / 所有反应物的摩尔质量之和) × 100%。

A high atom economy reduces waste and is a key principle of Green Chemistry. For example, the addition of Br₂ to ethene has 100% atom economy; substitution reactions often have lower values.

高原子经济性可减少废弃物，是绿色化学的重要原则。例如，乙烯与 Br₂ 的加成反应原子经济性为 100%；取代反应通常较低。

6. Enthalpy Changes and Hess’s Law | 焓变与赫斯定律

Enthalpy change ΔH is the heat transferred in a reaction at constant pressure. In solution calorimetry, q = mcΔT, where m is mass of solution, c specific heat capacity (often 4.18 J g⁻¹ K⁻¹), and ΔT the temperature change. Then ΔH = –q / n.

焓变 ΔH 是恒压条件下反应传递的热量。在溶液量热法中，q = mcΔT，其中 m 为溶液质量，c 为比热容（常取 4.18 J g⁻¹ K⁻¹），ΔT 为温度变化。随后 ΔH = –q / n。

q = mcΔT ; ΔH = –q / n

Hess’s Law states that the total enthalpy change of a reaction depends only on the initial and final states, not the route. Use known enthalpy changes (formation, combustion) to construct an energy cycle and find an unknown ΔH.

赫斯定律指出，反应的总焓变仅取决于始态和终态，与途径无关。可利用已知的焓变（生成焓、燃烧焓）构造能量循环，求出未知 ΔH。

With mean bond enthalpies: ΔH = Σ (bond enthalpies of bonds broken) – Σ (bond enthalpies of bonds formed). Bond breaking is endothermic (+), bond making is exothermic (–).

运用平均键能时：ΔH = Σ (断裂键的键能) – Σ (形成键的键能)。断键吸热（+），成键放热（–）。

ΔH = Σ E(broken) – Σ E(formed)

7. Equilibrium Constant Kc | 平衡常数 Kc

For a homogeneous equilibrium aA + bB ⇌ cC + dD, the equilibrium constant Kc = [C]ᶜ [D]ᵈ / [A]ᵃ [B]ᵇ, where [ ] denotes equilibrium concentration in mol dm⁻³. Kc has units that depend on the stoichiometry.

对于均相平衡 aA + bB ⇌ cC + dD，平衡常数 Kc = [C]ᶜ [D]ᵈ / [A]ᵃ [B]ᵇ，其中 [ ] 表示平衡浓度（mol dm⁻³）。Kc 的单位取决于化学计量数。

Kc = [C]^c[D]^d / [A]^a[B]^b

To find Kc, you need equilibrium concentrations. An ICE table (Initial, Change, Equilibrium) helps. For H₂ + I₂ ⇌ 2HI, if initial [H₂] = [I₂] = 1.00 M and at equilibrium [HI] = 1.56 M, then [H₂] = [I₂] = 1.00 – 0.78 = 0.22 M; Kc = (1.56)² / (0.22 × 0.22) = 50.3.

为求得 Kc，需知平衡浓度。可利用 ICE 表（起始、变化、平衡）。对于 H₂ + I₂ ⇌ 2HI，若起始 [H₂]=[I₂]=1.00 M，平衡时 [HI]=1.56 M，则 [H₂]=[I₂]=1.00–0.78=0.22 M；Kc = (1.56)²/(0.22×0.22) = 50.3。

8. pH and Buffer Solutions | pH 与缓冲溶液

pH is defined as the negative logarithm (base 10) of the hydrogen ion concentration: pH = –log₁₀[H⁺]. For strong monoprotic acids, [H⁺] equals the acid concentration. pH + pOH = 14 at 25 °C.

pH 定义为氢离子浓度的负对数（以 10 为底）：pH = –log₁₀[H⁺]。对于强一元酸，[H⁺]等于酸浓度。25 °C 时 pH + pOH = 14。

pH = –log₁₀[H⁺] ; [H⁺] = 10⁻^pH

For a weak acid HA, the acid dissociation constant Kₐ = [H⁺][A⁻] / [HA]. In a solution of the weak acid only, [H⁺] = [A⁻], so [H⁺] ≈ √(Kₐ · c). The approximation holds when c / Kₐ > 100.

对于弱酸 HA，酸解离常数 Kₐ = [H⁺][A⁻] / [HA]。若仅为弱酸溶液，[H⁺] = [A⁻]，因此 [H⁺] ≈ √(Kₐ · c)。当 c/Kₐ > 100 时该近似成立。

A buffer solution resists pH change; it contains a weak acid and its conjugate base. The Henderson‑Hasselbalch equation gives pH = pKₐ + log₁₀([salt] / [acid]). Alternatively, use the Kₐ expression to calculate [H⁺].

缓冲溶液能抵抗 pH 变化，由弱酸及其共轭碱组成。亨德森‑哈塞尔巴赫方程为 pH = pKₐ + log₁₀([盐] / [酸])。亦可直接使用 Kₐ 表达式计算 [H⁺]。

pH = pKₐ + log₁₀([A⁻] / [HA])

9. Redox and Electrochemical Cells | 氧化还原与电化学电池

Standard electrode potentials E⁰ are measured under standard conditions. The cell potential (emf) is E⁰cell = E⁰cathode – E⁰anode, where both E⁰ values are reduction potentials. A positive E⁰cell indicates a feasible reaction.

标准电极电势 E⁰ 在标准条件下测定。电池电势（电动势）为 E⁰cell = E⁰阴极 – E⁰阳极，两者均为还原电势。E⁰cell 为正值表示反应可行。

E⁰cell = E⁰cathode – E⁰anode

In quantitative electrolysis, the amount of product is linked to the charge passed. Charge Q (coulombs) = current I (amperes) × time t (seconds). The number of electrons n(e⁻) = Q / F, where F = 96 500 C mol⁻¹ (Faraday constant).

在定量电解中，产物的量与通过的电量有关。电量 Q（库仑）= 电流 I（安培）×
