This revision guide covers the Edexcel A Level Chemistry combined calculation toolkit: moles, balanced equations, limiting reagents, percentage yield and atom economy. These skills underpin quantitative chemistry and appear in both written papers and practical-based questions.
本复习指南涵盖 Edexcel A Level 化学综合计算工具：摩尔、配平方程式、限量反应物、产率百分数和原子经济。这些技能是定量化学的基础，出现在笔试和实验类题目中。
1. The Mole and Avogadro Constant | 摩尔与阿伏伽德罗常数
The mole is the SI unit for amount of substance. One mole contains exactly 6.022 × 10²³ particles, which may be atoms, molecules, ions or electrons. This number is called the Avogadro constant, given the symbol Nₐ.
摩尔是物质的量的 SI 单位。1 mol 恰好含有 6.022 × 10²³ 个粒子，这些粒子可以是原子、分子、离子或电子。这个数称为阿伏伽德罗常数，符号为 Nₐ。
n = N / Nₐ
Nₐ = 6.022 × 10²³ mol⁻¹
2. Balanced Equations and Ionic Equations | 配平方程式与离子方程式
A balanced equation shows the simplest whole-number mole ratio of reactants and products. For example, Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂ tells us that one mole of magnesium reacts with two moles of hydrochloric acid to produce one mole of magnesium chloride and one mole of hydrogen gas.
配平方程式表示反应物和生成物之间最简单的整数摩尔比。例如，Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂ 表示 1 mol 镁与 2 mol 盐酸反应，生成 1 mol 氯化镁和 1 mol 氢气。
To write an ionic equation, split aqueous compounds into their ions, remove spectator ions, and balance the remaining atoms and charges. For example, the reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide can be simplified to H⁺ + OH⁻ → H₂O.
书写离子方程式时，将溶液中的化合物拆分为离子，删除旁观离子，并配平剩余原子和电荷。例如，盐酸和氢氧化钠的反应可简化为 H⁺ + OH⁻ → H₂O。
3. 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. The molecular formula gives the actual number of atoms of each element in one molecule. To find an empirical formula, divide the mass or percentage of each element by its relative atomic mass, then simplify the mole ratio.
实验式给出化合物中原子最简单的整数比。分子式给出一个分子中每种元素的实际原子数。求实验式时，将各元素的质量或百分数除以其相对原子质量，然后化简摩尔比。
For example, a compound containing 80.0% carbon and 20.0% hydrogen by mass has an empirical formula CH₃, because the mole ratio of C to H is 1:3. If the relative molecular mass is 30.0, the molecular formula is C₂H₆.
例如，某化合物按质量含 80.0% 的碳和 20.0% 的氢，其实验式为 CH₃，因为 C 与 H 的摩尔比为 1:3。若其相对分子质量为 30.0，则分子式为 C₂H₆。
4. Reacting Mass Calculations | 反应质量计算
Reacting mass calculations convert a known mass of one substance into the mass of another using molar masses and the balanced equation. The three steps are: mass → moles, use the mole ratio, then moles → mass.
反应质量计算利用摩尔质量和配平方程式，将已知物质的质量转换为另一物质的质量。三个步骤为：质量 → 摩尔，利用摩尔比，然后摩尔 → 质量。
For example, 2.4 g of magnesium reacts with excess oxygen to form magnesium oxide: 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO. Since the molar mass of Mg is 24.3 g mol⁻¹, 2.4 g is about 0.10 mol. The mole ratio shows 0.10 mol MgO forms, which has a mass of about 4.0 g.
例如，2.4 g 镁与过量氧气反应生成氧化镁：2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO。Mg 的摩尔质量为 24.3 g mol⁻¹，因此 2.4 g 约为 0.10 mol。根据摩尔比，生成 0.10 mol MgO，其质量约为 4.0 g。
5. Concentration, Titrations and Standard Solutions | 浓度、滴定与标准溶液
Concentration is the amount of solute per unit volume of solution, usually expressed in mol dm⁻³. The key equation is c = n / V, where n is the number of moles and V is the volume in dm³.
浓度是单位体积溶液中溶质的物质的量，通常以 mol dm⁻³ 表示。关键公式为 c = n / V，其中 n 为摩尔数，V 为体积（dm³）。
c = n / V
In a titration, a standard solution of known concentration is used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution. For example, if 25.0 cm³ of 0.100 mol dm⁻³ HCl neutralises 30.0 cm³ of NaOH solution, the NaOH concentration is 0.0833 mol dm⁻³.
在滴定中，使用已知浓度的标准溶液来测定未知溶液的浓度。例如，若 25.0 cm³ 的 0.100 mol dm⁻³ HCl 与 30.0 cm³ NaOH 溶液恰好中和，则 NaOH 浓度为 0.0833 mol dm⁻³。
6. Gas Volumes and the Ideal Gas Equation | 气体体积与理想气体状态方程
At room temperature and pressure, one mole of any ideal gas occupies 24.0 dm³. This molar gas volume can convert moles of gas to volume directly. However, if temperature or pressure changes, the ideal gas equation must be used.
在室温和常压下，1 mol 任何理想气体的体积为 24.0 dm³。该气体摩尔体积可直接用于气体摩尔数与体积的换算。但当温度或压强改变时，必须使用理想气体状态方程。
pV = nRT
Here p is pressure in pascals, V is volume in m³, n is moles, R is 8.31 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹, and T is temperature in kelvin. Always convert units carefully before substituting.
其中 p 为压强（Pa），V 为体积（m³），n 为摩尔数，R 为 8.31 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹，T 为热力学温度（K）。代入前务必仔细换算单位。
7. Limiting Reactant Problems | 限量反应物问题
The limiting reactant is the reactant that is completely used up first and therefore limits the amount of product formed. To identify it, calculate the moles of each reactant, divide by its coefficient in the balanced equation, and choose the smallest value.
限量反应物是最先被完全消耗的反应物，因此限制了产物的生成量。判断方法是：计算各反应物的摩尔数，除以其在配平方程式中的系数，取最小值的物质即为限量反应物。
For example, if 0.50 mol of N₂ and 0.90 mol of H₂ react according to N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃, hydrogen is the limiting reactant because 0.90/3 = 0.30 is less than 0.50/1 = 0.50. The maximum amount of NH₃ is 0.60 mol.
例如，0.50 mol N₂ 和 0.90 mol H₂ 按 N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃ 反应，氢为限量反应物，因为 0.90/3 = 0.30 小于 0.50/1 = 0.50。NH₃ 的最大生成量为 0.60 mol。
8. Percentage Yield | 产率百分数
Percentage yield compares the actual yield obtained from an experiment with the theoretical yield predicted from the limiting reactant. It can be less than 100% because of incomplete reaction, side reactions, or loss during separation and purification.
产率百分数将实验获得的实际产率与由限量反应物预测的理论产率进行比较。由于反应不完全、副反应或分离提纯过程中的损失，产率百分数可能低于 100%。
Percentage yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) × 100
For example, if the theoretical yield of aspirin is 5.20 g but only 4.10 g is collected, the percentage yield is (4.10 / 5.20) × 100 = 78.8%.
例如，阿司匹林的理论产率为 5.20 g，但只收集到 4.10 g，则产率百分数为 (4.10 / 5.20) × 100 = 78.8%。
9. Atom Economy | 原子经济
Atom economy measures how efficiently reactant atoms are converted into the desired product. A higher atom economy means less waste and a more sustainable process.
原子经济衡量反应物原子转化为目标产物的效率。原子经济越高，废弃物越少，过程更具可持续性。
Atom economy = (molar mass of desired product / sum of molar masses of all reactants) × 100
For example, the reaction CH₃CH₂OH → CH₂=CH₂ + H₂O produces ethene from ethanol. The atom economy is (28.0 / 46.0) × 100 = 60.9%, as water is wasted.
例如，反应 CH₃CH₂OH → CH₂=CH₂ + H₂O 由乙醇制备乙烯。其原子经济为 (28.0 / 46.0) × 100 = 60.9%，因为水被浪费。
10. Practical Skills and Exam Pitfalls | 实验技能与考试易错点
- Always convert cm³ to dm³ by dividing by 1000 before using c = n / V — 使用 c = n / V 前，务必将 cm³ 除以 1000 换算为 dm³。
- Use kelvin for T in pV = nRT, not °C — 在 pV = nRT 中 T 必须使用开尔文，而不是摄氏度。
- Check limiting reactants before calculating theoretical yield — 计算理论产率前先判断限量反应物。
- State all answers to the appropriate number of significant figures — 所有答案使用适当的小数位或有效数字。
In exam questions, marks are often awarded for clearly showing the conversion from mass to moles and for using the mole ratio from the balanced equation, so always show each step of your working.
在考试题中，清晰展示质量到摩尔的换算步骤，并正确使用配平方程式中的摩尔比，通常可以获得步骤分，因此务必写出每一步计算过程。
