1. Atomic Structure & Stoichiometry
Ar = (average mass of 1 atom) / (1/12 mass of C-12 atom)
Mr = Σ Ar
n = mass / Mr
mass = n × Mr
N = n × Nₐ
n = V / 24
C = n / V
(mass of element / mass of compound) × 100
Simplest whole-number ratio of atoms
2. Chemical Calculations
Sum of relative atomic masses (Ar)
n = mass / Mr
mass = n × Mr
no. of particles = n × 6.02 × 10²³
n = volume of gas / 24
concentration = moles / volume
(mass of element in compound / total mass of compound) × 100
Simplest whole number ratio of atoms
2. Energetics
Q = mcΔT
ΔH = Q/n
Energy released (ΔH negative)
Energy absorbed (ΔH positive)
3. Rates of Reaction
Rate = (change in concentration or mass) / time
Concentration, surface area, temperature, catalyst
Rate ∝ number of effective collisions
4. Equilibrium & Le Chatelier
Rate forward = Rate backward
System opposes change in concentration, pressure, temperature
5. Gases & Gas Laws
PV = nRT
n = V / 24
6. Acids, Bases & Salts
pH = -log[H⁺]
Acid + Base → Salt + Water
n = C × V
7. Electrolysis
Q = I × t
n = Q / (F × z)
8. Redox & Reactivity
K > Na > Ca > Mg > Al > Zn > Fe > Pb > H > Cu
Metal oxide + C → Metal + CO
9. Organic Chemistry
CₙH₂ₙ₊₂
CₙH₂ₙ
CₙH₂ₙ₊₁OH
Hydrocarbon + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
Long-chain → shorter-chain + alkene
10. Units & Constants
Nₐ = 6.02 × 10²³ mol⁻¹
24 dm³/mol
c = 4.2 J/g°C
F = 96500 C/mol
1 dm³ = 1000 cm³
