1. Mole and Molar Mass Calculations | 摩尔与摩尔质量计算
The mole is the SI unit for amount of substance. One mole contains exactly 6.02 × 10²³ particles (Avogadro’s constant). Molar mass (M) is the mass of one mole of a substance, expressed in g mol⁻¹. The core relationship is n = m / M, where n is the number of moles and m is the mass in grams. You can also link particle count using n = N / NA.
摩尔是表示物质的量的SI单位。1摩尔精确含有6.02 × 10²³个微粒（阿伏伽德罗常数）。摩尔质量 (M) 是1摩尔物质的质量，单位为g mol⁻¹。核心关系式为 n = m / M，其中 n 为摩尔数，m 为质量(g)。你还可以通过 n = N / NA 关联微粒数。
n = m / M or n = N / (6.02 × 10²³)
Example: Calculate the number of moles in 8.0 g of NaOH (M = 40 g mol⁻¹). n = 8.0 / 40 = 0.20 mol. If asked for the number of NaOH formula units, multiply 0.20 by Avogadro’s constant: 0.20 × 6.02 × 10²³ = 1.20 × 10²³ units.
示例：计算8.0 g NaOH (M = 40 g mol⁻¹) 的摩尔数。n = 8.0 / 40 = 0.20 mol。若要计算NaOH单元数，将0.20乘以阿伏伽德罗常数：0.20 × 6.02 × 10²³ = 1.20 × 10²³个。
2. Empirical and Molecular Formulae | 实验式与分子式
The empirical formula gives the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound, while the molecular formula shows the actual number of atoms per molecule. To determine an empirical formula from percentage composition, assume a 100 g sample, convert each percentage mass to moles by dividing by the relative atomic mass (Ar), then divide all mole values by the smallest to obtain the integer ratio.
实验式给出化合物中原子的最简整数比，分子式则显示每个分子的实际原子数目。从质量百分组成确定实验式时，假设100 g样品，将每种元素的质量百分比除以相对原子质量 (Ar) 转化为摩尔数，再将所有摩尔数除以最小值，得到整数比。
Element mole ratio = (% mass / Ar) : (% mass / Ar) …
Example: A compound contains 40.0% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen and 53.3% oxygen by mass. Moles: C = 40.0/12 = 3.33; H = 6.7/1 = 6.7; O = 53.3/16 = 3.33. Divide by 3.33 → ratio C:H:O = 1:2:1. Empirical formula is CH₂O. If the molar mass is 180 g mol⁻¹, the molecular formula is C₆H₁₂O₆.
示例：某化合物含碳40.0%、氢6.7%、氧53.3%。摩尔数：C = 40.0/12 = 3.33; H = 6.7/1 = 6.7; O = 53.3/16 = 3.33。除以3.33 得比例 C:H:O = 1:2:1。实验式为 CH₂O。若摩尔质量为180 g mol⁻¹，则分子式为 C₆H₁₂O₆。
3. Reacting Masses and Limiting Reagents | 反应质量与限量试剂
Using a balanced equation, you can calculate the mass of a product formed from a given mass of reactant. Convert the known mass to moles, use the mole ratio from the equation, and convert the product moles back to mass. When two reactant masses are given, identify the limiting reagent by comparing the available mole ratio to the stoichiometric ratio. The limiting reagent is completely consumed and determines the maximum product yield.
利用配平的化学方程式，你可以从给定的反应物质量计算生成物的质量。将已知质量转换为摩尔，利用方程式中的摩尔比，再将产物的摩尔数转换回质量。当给出两种反应物的质量时，通过比较实际摩尔比与化学计量比来识别限量试剂。限量试剂被完全消耗，决定了产物的最大产量。
mproduct = (mreactant / Mreactant) × mole ratio × Mproduct
Example: 2.4 g of magnesium reacts with 3.2 g of oxygen. 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO. Moles Mg = 2.4/24 = 0.10 mol; moles O₂ = 3.2/32 = 0.10 mol. Stoichiometric ratio Mg:O₂ = 2:1, so 0.10 mol Mg requires 0.05 mol O₂. O₂ is in excess, Mg is limiting. Moles MgO formed = 0.10 mol, mass = 0.10 × 40 = 4.0 g.
示例：2.4 g镁与3.2 g氧反应。2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO。Mg摩尔 = 2.4/24 = 0.10 mol; O₂摩尔 = 3.2/32 = 0.10 mol。化学计量比 Mg:O₂ = 2:1，因此0.10 mol Mg需要0.05 mol O₂。O₂过量，Mg是限量试剂。生成的MgO摩尔 = 0.10 mol，质量 = 0.10 × 40 = 4.0 g。
4. Percentage Yield and Atom Economy | 产率与原子经济性
The percentage yield compares the actual mass of product obtained to the theoretical mass predicted from stoichiometry. It measures the efficiency of the reaction process. Atom economy evaluates how much of the starting materials end up in the desired product, calculated using molecular masses of reactants and the target product. A higher atom economy indicates a greener process with less waste.
产率比较实际获得的产品质量与根据化学计量学预测的理论质量，衡量反应过程的效率。原子经济性评估起始原料中有多少进入目标产物，通过反应物和产物的分子质量计算。原子经济性越高，表明工艺越环保，废弃物越少。
% Yield = (actual mass / theoretical mass) × 100%
% Atom Economy = (Mdesired product / ΣMall reactants) × 100%
Example: In the production of ethanol by hydration of ethene (C₂H₄ + H₂O → C₂H₅OH), 14 g of ethanol was obtained from 10 g of ethene. Theoretical mass of ethanol from 10 g ethene = (10/28) × 46 = 16.4 g. Yield = (14/16.4) × 100% = 85.4%. Atom economy = 46/(28+18) × 100% = 100%, as all atoms end up in the product.
示例：乙烯水化制乙醇 (C₂H₄ + H₂O → C₂H₅OH)，从10 g乙烯得到14 g乙醇。理论乙醇质量 = (10/28) × 46 = 16.4 g。产率 = (14/16.4) × 100% = 85.4%。原子经济性 = 46/(28+18) × 100% = 100%，因为所有原子都进入产物。
5. Concentration and Titration Calculations | 浓度与滴定计算
Concentration (c) is the amount of solute per unit volume of solution, usually mol dm⁻³. The fundamental equation c = n / V links moles and volume in dm³. In a titration, a solution of known concentration is used to determine the unknown concentration of another solution via a neutralisation or redox reaction. At the equivalence point, the mole ratio from the balanced equation applies: (c₁V₁)/n₁ = (c₂V₂)/n₂, where n represents the stoichiometric coefficient.
浓度 (c) 是单位体积溶液中溶质的量，单位通常为 mol dm⁻³。基本方程 c = n / V 关联摩尔数与体积(dm³)。在滴定中，利用已知浓度的溶液通过中和或氧化还原反应测定另一溶液的未知浓度。在等当点，利用方程式配平比： (c₁V₁)/n₁ = (c₂V₂)/n₂，其中n为化学计量数。
c = n / V (V in dm³) | (cA VA) / nA = (cB VB) / nB
Example: 25.0 cm³ of NaOH is neutralised by 22.0 cm³ of 0.10 mol dm⁻³ HCl. Equation: HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O. Ratio 1:1. Moles HCl = 0.10 × (22.0/1000) = 0.00220 mol = moles NaOH. Conc. NaOH = 0.00220 / (25.0/1000) = 0.088 mol dm⁻³.
示例：25.0 cm³ NaOH 被 22.0 cm³ 0.10 mol dm⁻³ HCl 中和。方程式：HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O，摩尔比1:1。HCl摩尔 = 0.10 × (22.0/1000) = 0.00220 mol = NaOH摩尔。NaOH浓度 = 0.00220 / (25.0/1000) = 0.088 mol dm⁻³。
6. Gas Volume Calculations (Molar Volume) | 气体体积计算（摩尔体积）
At room temperature and pressure (RTP: 20°C, 1 atm), one mole of any gas occupies 24 dm³. At standard temperature and pressure (STP: 0°C, 1 atm), the molar volume is 22.4 dm³. Most IGCSE and A-Level questions assume RTP unless stated otherwise. Use n = Vgas / (molar volume) to convert between volume and moles, then apply reaction stoichiometry for mass or concentration.
在常温常压下 (RTP: 20°C, 1 atm)，1摩尔任何气体体积为24 dm³。在标准状况下 (STP: 0°C, 1 atm)，摩尔体积为22.4 dm³。除非另有说明，多数IGCSE和A-Level题目默认使用RTP。利用 n = V气体 / (摩尔体积) 换算体积与摩尔，再结合反应计量关系计算质量或浓度。
n = V / 24 (RTP) or n = V / 22.4 (STP)
Example: What volume of CO₂ is produced at RTP when 5.0 g of CaCO₃ is thermally decomposed? CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂. Moles CaCO₃ = 5.0/100 = 0.050 mol. 1:1 ratio, so 0.050 mol CO₂. Volume = 0.050 × 24 = 1.2 dm³.
示例：5.0 g CaCO₃ 热分解在常温常压下产生多少体积的CO₂？CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂。CaCO₃摩尔 = 5.0/100 = 0.050 mol。1:1摩尔比，故0.050 mol CO₂。体积 = 0.050 × 24 = 1.2 dm³。
7. Enthalpy Change and Calorimetry | 焓变与量热法
Enthalpy change (ΔH) is often measured by calorimetry. The heat absorbed or released by the reaction is calculated using Q = m c ΔT, where m is the mass of the solution (usually water), c is the specific heat capacity (4.18 J g⁻¹ °C⁻¹ for water), and ΔT is the temperature change. The enthalpy change per mole is then ΔH = –Q / n, with n being the moles of the limiting reactant. Remember ΔH is negative for exothermic reactions and positive for endothermic.
焓变 (ΔH) 常通过量热法测定。反应吸收或放出的热量用 Q = m c ΔT 计算，其中 m 为溶液质量（通常为水），c 为比热容（水为4.18 J g⁻¹ °C⁻¹），ΔT 为温度变化。每摩尔焓变为 ΔH = –Q / n，n 为限量反应物的摩尔数。注意放热反应ΔH为负，吸热为正。
Q = m c ΔT → ΔH = – Q / n (J mol⁻¹, convert to kJ)
Example: 0.50 g of magnesium added to 50 cm³ of 1.0 mol dm⁻³ HCl (excess) caused a temperature rise of 12.0°C. Assume solution density = 1 g cm⁻³, so m = 50 g. Q = 50 × 4.18 × 12.0 = 2508 J. Moles Mg = 0.50/24 = 0.0208 mol. ΔH = –2508 / 0.0208 = –120,600 J mol⁻¹ ≈ –121 kJ mol⁻¹.
示例：0.50 g镁加入50 cm³ 1.0 mol dm⁻³ HCl (过量) 使温度升高12.0°C。假设溶液密度1 g cm⁻³，则 m = 50 g。Q = 50 × 4.18 × 12.0 = 2508 J。Mg摩尔 = 0.50/24 = 0.0208 mol。ΔH = –2508 / 0.0208 = –120,600 J mol⁻¹ ≈ –121 kJ mol⁻¹。
8. Rate of Reaction Calculations | 反应速率计算
The rate of a chemical reaction can be expressed as the change in concentration of a reactant or product per unit time, or as the volume of gas evolved per unit time. From a graph, the instantaneous rate at a point is the gradient of the tangent. When using tabulated data, average rate = (final concentration – initial concentration) / time interval. The unit is typically mol dm⁻³ s⁻¹ or cm³ s⁻¹.
化学反应速率可表示为单位时间内反应物或产物浓度的变化，或单位时间内放出气体的体积。从图像上，某点的瞬时速率是切线的斜率。使用表格数据时，平均速率 = (终浓度 – 初浓度) / 时间间隔。单位通常为 mol dm⁻³ s⁻¹ 或 cm³ s⁻¹。
Average rate = Δ(amount) / Δtime
Example: In a reaction producing H₂ gas, 36 cm³ was collected in the first 20 seconds. Average rate = 36 cm³ / 20 s = 1.8 cm³ s⁻¹. If the initial concentration of HCl was 2.0 mol dm⁻³ and it dropped to 1.2 mol dm⁻³ over 100 s, average rate = (2.0 – 1.2)/100 = 0.008 mol dm⁻³ s⁻¹.
示例：在某产生H₂气体的反应中，前20秒收集到36 cm³气体。平均速率 = 36 cm³ / 20 s = 1.8 cm³ s⁻¹。若HCl初始浓度2.0 mol dm⁻³，100 s后降至1.2 mol dm⁻³，平均速率 = (2.0 – 1.2)/100 = 0.008 mol dm⁻³ s⁻¹。
9. Electrolysis Calculations (Faraday’s Laws) | 电解计算（法拉第定律）
Electrolysis quantifies product formation using electric charge. The total charge (Q) is the product of current (I in amperes) and time (t in seconds): Q = I × t. The number of moles of electrons transferred is n(e⁻) = Q / F, where Faraday’s constant F ≈ 96,500 C mol⁻¹. Applying the half-equation, you determine the moles of substance deposited or liberated, then convert to mass or gas volume.
电解通过电荷量来定量产物生成。总电荷量 (Q) 为电流 (I, A) 与时间 (t, s) 的乘积：Q = I × t。电子转移的摩尔数为 n(e⁻) = Q / F，法拉第常数 F ≈ 96,500 C mol⁻¹。结合半反应方程式，可确定沉积或析出物质的摩尔数，进而换算为质量或气体体积。
Q = I t → n(e⁻) = Q / 96500
Example: What mass of copper is deposited when a current of 2.0 A flows through CuSO₄ solution for 30 minutes? Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Cu. t = 30×60 = 1800 s; Q = 2.0×1800 = 3600 C; n(e⁻) = 3600/96500 ≈ 0.0373 mol; moles Cu = 0.0373/2 = 0.01865 mol; mass = 0.01865 × 63.5 = 1.18 g.
示例：2.0 A电流通过CuSO₄溶液30分钟，沉积出多少克铜？Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Cu。t = 30×60 = 1800 s; Q = 2.0×1800 = 3600 C; n(e⁻) = 3600/96500 ≈ 0.0373 mol; Cu摩尔 = 0.0373/2 = 0.01865 mol; 质量 = 0.01865 × 63.5 = 1.18 g。
10. Water of Crystallisation Calculations | 结晶水计算
Hydrated salts contain water molecules loosely bound in the crystal lattice. Heating a hydrated salt drives off the water of crystallisation, leaving the anhydrous salt. By measuring the mass loss, you can determine the value of x in formulas like CuSO₄·xH₂O. Calculate moles of anhydrous salt and moles of water lost, then find the simplest integer ratio.
水合盐含有松散结合在晶格中的水分子。加热水合盐时会失去结晶水，留下无水盐。通过测量质量损失，可以确定如 CuSO₄·xH₂O 中的 x 值。计算无水盐的摩尔数和失去的水的摩尔数，然后求出最简整数比。
x = n(H₂O lost) / n(anhydrous salt)
Example: 4.99 g of hydrated copper(II) sulfate was heated to constant mass. The mass of anhydrous CuSO₄ remaining was 3.19 g. Mass of water = 4.99 – 3.19 = 1.80 g. Moles CuSO₄ = 3.19/159.5 = 0.0200 mol; moles H₂O = 1.80/18 = 0.100 mol. Ratio H₂O:CuSO₄ = 0.100/0.0200 = 5. So x = 5, giving CuSO₄·5H₂O.
示例：4.99 g水合硫酸铜加热至恒重，剩余无水 CuSO₄ 质量为3.19 g。水质量 = 4.99 – 3.19 = 1.80 g。CuSO₄ 摩尔 = 3.19/159.5 = 0.0200 mol; H₂O 摩尔 = 1.80/18 = 0.100 mol。H₂O:CuSO₄ 摩尔比 = 0.100/0.0200 = 5。因此 x = 5，即 CuSO₄·5H₂O。
