1. The Mole Concept and Molar Mass | 摩尔概念与摩尔质量

The mole is the central unit in chemical calculations. One mole of any substance contains 6.022 × 10²³ particles (Avogadro’s constant) and has a mass equal to its relative atomic, molecular, or formula mass in grams. The molar mass (M) is expressed in g mol⁻¹. You must be able to interconvert mass, moles, and number of particles.

摩尔是化学计算的核心单位。一摩尔任何物质含有 6.022 × 10²³ 个粒子（阿伏伽德罗常数），其质量等于以克为单位的相对原子质量、分子质量或式量。摩尔质量 (M) 用 g mol⁻¹ 表示。你必须能够互换质量、摩尔数和粒子数。

n = m / M where n = amount (mol), m = mass (g), M = molar mass (g mol⁻¹)
n = N / Nₐ where N = number of particles, Nₐ = Avogadro’s constant

n = m / M 其中 n = 物质的量 (mol)，m = 质量 (g)，M = 摩尔质量 (g mol⁻¹)
n = N / Nₐ 其中 N = 粒子数，Nₐ = 阿伏伽德罗常数

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

The empirical formula gives the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound. It is determined from the mass or percentage composition of each element. Divide the mass or percentage by the relative atomic mass to obtain the mole ratio, then divide by the smallest number to get the simplest ratio. The molecular formula is a multiple of the empirical formula, found from the molar mass of the compound.

经验式表示化合物中原子的最简整数比。它由各元素的质量或百分组成确定。将质量或百分含量除以相对原子质量得到摩尔比，然后除以最小的数得到最简比。分子式是经验式的整数倍，通过化合物的摩尔质量求得。

Example: A compound contains 40.0% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen, and 53.3% oxygen by mass. Its molar mass is 180 g mol⁻¹. Find its molecular formula.

例子： 某化合物按质量含 40.0% 碳、6.7% 氢和 53.3% 氧。其摩尔质量为 180 g mol⁻¹。求其分子式。

Element	% mass	÷ Ar	Mole ratio	÷ smallest
C	40.0	÷ 12.0 = 3.33	3.33	1
H	6.7	÷ 1.0 = 6.7	6.7	2
O	53.3	÷ 16.0 = 3.33	3.33	1

Empirical formula = CH₂O; empirical mass = 30 g mol⁻¹. Molecular formula multiplier = 180 / 30 = 6, thus molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆.

经验式 = CH₂O；经验式质量 = 30 g mol⁻¹。分子式倍数 = 180 / 30 = 6，因此分子式 = C₆H₁₂O₆。

3. Reacting Masses and Limiting Reagents | 反应质量与限量试剂

Reacting mass calculations involve using a balanced chemical equation to determine the mass of a reactant or product from a given mass of another substance. Always convert mass to moles, use the mole ratio from the equation, and convert back to mass. The limiting reagent is the reactant that is completely consumed first, limiting the amount of product formed. Identify it by comparing the available moles of each reactant with their stoichiometric ratios.

反应质量计算涉及使用平衡化学方程式，由一种物质的质量确定另一种反应物或产物的质量。始终将质量转换为摩尔，使用方程式中的摩尔比，再转换回质量。限量试剂是首先被完全消耗的反应物，限制了产物的生成量。通过比较各反应物的现有摩尔数与其计量比来确定限量试剂。

Example: 5.00 g of magnesium reacts with 4.00 g of oxygen to form magnesium oxide (MgO). Determine the limiting reagent and the mass of MgO produced. (Ar: Mg = 24.3, O = 16.0)

例题： 5.00 g 镁与 4.00 g 氧气反应生成氧化镁 (MgO)。确定限量试剂及生成的 MgO 质量。(Ar: Mg = 24.3, O = 16.0)

Balanced equation: 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO

平衡方程式：2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO

Moles of Mg = 5.00 / 24.3 = 0.206 mol; from equation 2 mol Mg require 1 mol O₂, so 0.206 mol Mg require 0.103 mol O₂. Available O₂ = 4.00 / 32.0 = 0.125 mol. Therefore O₂ is in excess, Mg is limiting. Moles of MgO = 0.206 mol (1:1 ratio). Mass MgO = 0.206 × (24.3 + 16.0) = 0.206 × 40.3 = 8.30 g.

Mg 的摩尔 = 5.00 / 24.3 = 0.206 mol；由方程式 2 mol Mg 需 1 mol O₂，所以 0.206 mol Mg 需 0.103 mol O₂。可用的 O₂ = 4.00 / 32.0 = 0.125 mol。因此 O₂ 过量，Mg 是限量试剂。MgO 的摩尔 = 0.206 mol (1:1 比)。MgO 质量 = 0.206 × (24.3 + 16.0) = 0.206 × 40.3 = 8.30 g。

4. Gas Volume Calculations | 气体体积计算

At room temperature and pressure (RTP, 20 °C and 1 atm), one mole of any gas occupies 24.0 dm³ (24,000 cm³). This is the molar gas volume. Use it to convert between volume and moles. For reactions involving gases, the volume ratio directly reflects the mole ratio if conditions are constant.

在室温和常压（RTP，20 °C 和 1 atm）下，一摩尔任何气体占据 24.0 dm³ (24,000 cm³) 体积。这就是气体摩尔体积。用它来转换体积和摩尔。对于涉及气体的反应，如果条件不变，体积比直接反映摩尔比。

Formula: n = V / 24.0 (V in dm³) or n = V / 24000 (V in cm³)

公式： n = V / 24.0 (V 单位 dm³) 或 n = V / 24000 (V 单位 cm³)

Often you need to combine gas volume calculations with reacting masses. For example, calculate the volume of carbon dioxide produced when 10.0 g of calcium carbonate reacts with excess hydrochloric acid.

你常常需要将气体体积计算与反应质量结合起来。例如，计算 10.0 g 碳酸钙与过量盐酸反应时生成的二氧化碳体积。

CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂O + CO₂

Moles CaCO₃ = 10.0 / 100.1 = 0.0999 mol. Mole ratio 1:1, so moles CO₂ = 0.0999 mol. Volume at RTP = 0.0999 × 24.0 = 2.40 dm³.

CaCO₃ 摩尔 = 10.0 / 100.1 = 0.0999 mol。摩尔比 1:1，所以 CO₂ 摩尔 = 0.0999 mol。RTP 下体积 = 0.0999 × 24.0 = 2.40 dm³。

5. Concentration and Titration Calculations | 浓度与滴定计算

Concentration (c) is the amount of solute per unit volume, typically mol dm⁻³. The key relationship is n = c × V, where V must be in dm³ (divide cm³ by 1000). Titration calculations involve determining the concentration of an unknown solution by reacting it with a standard solution of known concentration. Use the balanced equation to find the mole ratio and solve for the unknown.

浓度 (c) 是单位体积内溶质的量，通常用 mol dm⁻³ 表示。关键关系是 n = c × V，其中 V 必须用 dm³ 为单位（将 cm³ 除以 1000）。滴定计算涉及通过与已知浓度的标准溶液反应来确定未知溶液的浓度。使用平衡方程式找出摩尔比并求解未知数。

Example: 25.0 cm³ of sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) required 30.0 cm³ of 0.100 mol dm⁻³ sodium hydroxide for neutralisation. Find the concentration of the acid.

例题： 25.0 cm³ 硫酸 (H₂SO₄) 需要 30.0 cm³ 0.100 mol dm⁻³ 氢氧化钠来中和。计算酸的浓度。

Equation: H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

Moles NaOH = 0.100 × (30.0 / 1000) = 0.00300 mol. From equation, 2 mol NaOH react with 1 mol H₂SO₄, so moles H₂SO₄ = 0.00300 / 2 = 0.00150 mol. Volume of H₂SO₄ = 25.0 / 1000 = 0.0250 dm³. Concentration = 0.00150 / 0.0250 = 0.0600 mol dm⁻³.

方程式：H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

NaOH 摩尔 = 0.100 × (30.0 / 1000) = 0.00300 mol。由方程式，2 mol NaOH 与 1 mol H₂SO₄ 反应，所以 H₂SO₄ 摩尔 = 0.00300 / 2 = 0.00150 mol。H₂SO₄ 体积 = 25.0 / 1000 = 0.0250 dm³。浓度 = 0.00150 / 0.0250 = 0.0600 mol dm⁻³。

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

Percentage yield compares the actual amount of product obtained to the theoretical maximum. It reflects losses during the experiment. Atom economy measures the efficiency of a reaction in incorporating reactant atoms into the desired product, important in green chemistry.

百分产率将实际得到的产品量与理论最大值进行比较。它反映了实验过程中的损失。原子经济性衡量反应将反应物原子嵌入目标产物的效率，在绿色化学中很重要。

% Yield = (actual mass or moles / theoretical mass or moles) × 100
% Atom economy = (molar mass of desired product / sum of molar masses of all reactants) × 100

% 产率 = （实际质量或摩尔 / 理论质量或摩尔）× 100
% 原子经济性 = （目标产物的摩尔质量 / 所有反应物摩尔质量之和）× 100

For example, in the production of iron from iron(III) oxide: Fe₂O₃ + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO₂. Atom economy for iron = (2 × 55.8) / (159.6 + 3 × 28.0) × 100 = 111.6 / 243.6 × 100 = 45.8%. This means more than half the reactant mass ends up as waste CO₂.

例如，用氧化铁(III)炼铁：Fe₂O₃ + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO₂。铁的原子经济性 = (2 × 55.8) / (159.6 + 3 × 28.0) × 100 = 111.6 / 243.6 × 100 = 45.8%。这意味着超过一半的反应物质量最终成为废弃物 CO₂。

7. Redox Titration Calculations | 氧化还原滴定计算

Redox titrations are common in inorganic chemistry, especially for analysing transition metal ions, oxidising or reducing agents. Typical examples include manganate(VII) titrations with iron(II) or ethanedioate ions. You need to write balanced half-equations or the full redox equation, then apply mole ratios to find unknown concentrations.

氧化还原滴定在无机化学中很常见，特别用于分析过渡金属离子、氧化剂或还原剂。典型例子包括高锰酸根（VII）与铁（II）或乙二酸根离子的滴定。你需要书写平衡的半反应式或完整的氧化还原方程式，然后应用摩尔比求未知浓度。

Example: 25.0 cm³ of an acidified iron(II) sulfate solution required 18.0 cm³ of 0.0200 mol dm⁻³ KMnO₄ to reach the endpoint. Calculate the concentration of Fe²⁺ ions.

例题： 25.0 cm³ 酸化硫酸亚铁(II)溶液需要 18.0 cm³ 0.0200 mol dm⁻³ KMnO₄ 达到终点。计算 Fe²⁺ 离子的浓度。

Half-equations: MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5e⁻ → Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O ; Fe²⁺ → Fe³⁺ + e⁻

Overall: MnO₄⁻ + 5Fe²⁺ + 8H⁺ → Mn²⁺ + 5Fe³⁺ + 4H₂O

Moles MnO₄⁻ = 0.0200 × (18.0 / 1000) = 3.60 × 10⁻⁴ mol. From equation, 1 mol MnO₄⁻ reacts with 5 mol Fe²⁺, so moles Fe²⁺ = 5 × 3.60 × 10⁻⁴ = 1.80 × 10⁻³ mol. Concentration Fe²⁺ = 1.80 × 10⁻³ / 0.0250 = 0.0720 mol dm⁻³.

半反应：MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5e⁻ → Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O ; Fe²⁺ → Fe³⁺ + e⁻

总反应：MnO₄⁻ + 5Fe²⁺ + 8H⁺ → Mn²⁺ + 5Fe³⁺ + 4H₂O

MnO₄⁻ 摩尔 = 0.0200 × (18.0 / 1000) = 3.60 × 10⁻⁴ mol。根据方程式，1 mol MnO₄⁻ 与 5 mol Fe²⁺ 反应，所以 Fe²⁺ 摩尔 = 5 × 3.60 × 10⁻⁴ = 1.80 × 10⁻³ mol。Fe²⁺ 浓度 = 1.80 × 10⁻³ / 0.0250 = 0.0720 mol dm⁻³。

8. Back Titrations | 返滴定

Back titrations are used when the reaction is slow or the endpoint is difficult to detect. An excess of a standard reagent is added, and the unreacted portion is titrated with another standard solution. This is common in determining the purity of carbonates or the solubility of insoluble salts.

返滴定在反应缓慢或终点难以检测时使用。加入过量的标准试剂，未反应的部分用另一种标准溶液滴定。这在测定碳酸盐纯度或不溶性盐的溶解度时很常见。

For instance, to find the percentage purity of a sample of limestone (CaCO₃), you could react it with excess HCl, then titrate the leftover acid with NaOH. Calculate total moles of HCl added, subtract moles neutralised by NaOH to find moles reacted with CaCO₃, and proceed.

例如，要测定石灰石（CaCO₃）样品的百分纯度，你可以让它与过量 HCl 反应，然后用 NaOH 滴定剩余的酸。计算加入的 HCl 总摩尔数，减去被 NaOH 中和的摩尔数，得到与 CaCO₃ 反应的摩尔数，然后继续计算。

9. Water of Crystallisation | 结晶水计算

Hydrated salts contain water molecules within their crystal lattice. The number of water molecules per formula unit (water of crystallisation) can be found by heating a known mass to constant mass and measuring the mass loss, or by titration of the anhydrous salt.

水合盐的晶格中含有水分子。每个化学式单元的水分子数（结晶水）可以通过加热已知质量至恒重并测量质量损失，或通过无水盐的滴定来求得。

Calculate mass of water lost, convert to moles, and compare with moles of anhydrous salt to find the ratio. For example, if 5.00 g of hydrated copper(II) sulfate (CuSO₄·xH₂O) loses 1.80 g on heating, find x. Moles CuSO₄ = (5.00 – 1.80) / 159.6 = 0.0200 mol; moles H₂O = 1.80 / 18.0 = 0.100 mol. Ratio H₂O / CuSO₄ = 0.100 / 0.0200 = 5, so x = 5.

计算失去的水的质量，换算成摩尔，与无水盐的摩尔数比较以求得比例。例如，如果 5.00 g 水合硫酸铜(II) (CuSO₄·xH₂O) 加热失去 1.80 g，求 x。CuSO₄ 摩尔 = (5.00 – 1.80) / 159.6 = 0.0200 mol；H₂O 摩尔 = 1.80 / 18.0 = 0.100 mol。H₂O 与 CuSO₄ 之比 = 0.100 / 0.0200 = 5，所以 x = 5。

10. Common Pitfalls and Exam Tips | 常见失分点与考试技巧

Students often lose marks by forgetting to balance the equation before using mole ratios, mixing up cm³ and dm³ in concentration calculations, or misusing the molar gas volume at different conditions. Always show clear working, state units, and check that significant figures are consistent with the given data. Memorise key formulae but also understand their derivations.

学生常因在使用摩尔比之前忘记配平方程式、在浓度计算中将 cm³ 和 dm³ 混淆、或在不同的条件下误用气体摩尔体积而失分。始终展示清晰的运算过程，注明单位，并检查有效数字是否与所给数据一致。熟记关键公式，但也理解其推导过程。

For redox titrations, write the full balanced equation or use the half-equation method to find the electron transfer ratio. Double-check your calculations with a quick estimation. Finally, practice with past paper questions under timed conditions to build speed and accuracy.

对于氧化还原滴定，写出完整的配平方程式或使用半反应法找出电子转移比。用快速估算复核你的计算。最后，在限时条件下练习往年考题，以提高速度和准确度。
