1. Overview of CH04 WRE June 2023 | CH04 WRE 2023 年 6 月考试概览
The CH04 written response examination tests your ability to link experimental data to rate equations, calculate equilibrium constants using concentrations or partial pressures, and apply acid-base models to pH and buffer systems. Questions often combine numerical work with short explanations of underlying principles.
CH04 笔试考查你将实验数据与速率方程联系起来、利用浓度或分压计算平衡常数，以及将酸碱模型应用于 pH 和缓冲体系的能力。题目通常把数值计算与对基本原理的简短解释结合起来。
Common question types in the June 2023 paper include determining order from initial rates data, calculating Kp from mole fractions, explaining the effect of temperature on K, and calculating pH of weak acids and buffers. You should also be prepared to sketch and interpret pH titration curves.
2023 年 6 月试卷中常见题型包括：根据初始速率数据确定反应级数、由摩尔分数计算 Kp、解释温度对 K 的影响，以及计算弱酸和缓冲溶液的 pH。你还要准备绘制并解释 pH 滴定曲线。
2. Rate Equations and Order of Reaction | 速率方程与反应级数
[A]ᵐ[B]ⁿ. The powers m and n are the orders with respect to A and B, and they must be determined experimentally, not from the balanced equation.
对于像 A + B → 产物 这样的反应，速率方程形式为 rate = k[A]ᵐ[B]ⁿ。指数 m 和 n 分别表示对 A 和 B 的反应级数，它们必须通过实验确定，而不能直接从配平方程式得出。
rder; if m = 2, second order. The rate constant k is only constant at a given temperature.
总级数是 m + n 之和。如果 m = 0，则该反应对 A 是零级；m = 1 是一级；m = 2 是二级。速率常数 k 只有在给定温度下才是常数。
You should be able to recognise the order from graphs:
你应该能够根据图形判断反应级数：
- Zero order: concentration-time graph is linear with negative gradient; rate-concentration graph is horizontal.
- 零级：浓度-时间图为斜率为负的直线；速率-浓度图为水平线。
- First order: concentration-time graph is exponential decay; rate-concentration graph is a straight line through the origin.
- 一级：浓度-时间图呈指数衰减；速率-浓度图为过原点的直线。
- Second order: concentration-time graph decays more rapidly at high concentration; rate-concentration graph is an upward curve.
- 二级：浓度-时间图在高浓度处下降更快；速率-浓度图为向上弯曲的曲线。
3. Determining Rate Constants and Units | 确定速率常数及其单位
A]²[B], then k = rate ÷ ([A]²[B]). The units of k depend on the overall order of reaction.
速率常数通过将实验测得的速率和浓度值代入速率方程计算。例如，若 rate = k[A]²[B]，则 k = rate ÷ ([A]²[B])。k 的单位取决于反应的总级数。
| Overall order | Units of k | Example rate equation |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | mol dm⁻³ s⁻¹ | rate = k |
| 1 | s⁻¹ | rate = k[A] |
| 2 | mol⁻¹ dm³ s⁻¹ | rate = k[A][B] |
| 3 | mol⁻² dm⁶ s⁻¹ | rate = k[A]²[B] |
tion terms). Then replace rate with mol dm⁻³ s⁻¹ and each concentration with mol dm⁻³, and simplify the powers.
要确定单位，先重排速率方程使 k = rate ÷（浓度项）。然后用 mol dm⁻³ s⁻¹ 替换速率，用 mol dm⁻³ 替换每个浓度项，并化简幂次。
Overall order = 2 → units of k = (mol dm⁻³ s⁻¹) ÷ (mol dm⁻³)² = mol⁻¹ dm³ s⁻¹
总级数 = 2 → k 的单位 = (mol dm⁻³ s⁻¹) ÷ (mol dm⁻³)² = mol⁻¹ dm³ s⁻¹
4. The Arrhenius Equation | 阿伦尼乌斯方程
The Arrhenius equation links the rate constant to temperature and activation energy:
阿伦尼乌斯方程将速率常数与温度和活化能联系起来：
k = Ae–Eₐ/RT
Here A is the pre-exponential factor, Eₐ is the activation energy in J mol⁻¹, R is the gas constant 8.31 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹, and T is the temperature in kelvin.
其中 A 是指前因子，Eₐ 是活化能（单位 J mol⁻¹），R 是气体常数 8.31 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹，T 是开尔文温度。
The linear form is more useful for graph work:
线性形式对作图更实用：
ln k = ln A – Eₐ/(RT)
A plot of ln k against 1/T gives a straight line with gradient –Eₐ/R and y-intercept ln A. You can therefore calculate Eₐ from the gradient.
以 ln k 对 1/T 作图得到一条直线，斜率为 –Eₐ/R，截距为 ln A。因此你可以由斜率计算 Eₐ。
For example, if a graph of ln k vs 1/T has gradient – Always convert temperature to kelvin and activation energy to joules before substituting.
例如，若 ln k 对 1/T 的图斜率为 –5050 K，则 Eₐ = 5050 × 8.31 ≈ 42 000 J mol⁻¹ = 42.0 kJ mol⁻¹。代入前必须把温度换算为开尔文，把活化能换算为焦耳。
5. Equilibrium Constants Kc and Kp | 平衡常数 Kc 与 Kp
For a homogeneous equilibrium aA + bB ⇌ cC + dD, the concentration equilibrium constant is:
对于均相平衡 aA + bB ⇌ cC + dD，浓度平衡常数为：
Kc = [C]ᶜ[D]ᵈ / [A]ᵃ[B]ᵇ
Square brackets represent equilibrium concentrations in mol dm⁻³. Pure solids and liquids are omitted from Kc expressions; only gaseous and aqueous species appear.
方括号表示以 mol dm⁻³ 为单位的平衡浓度。纯固体和纯液体不出现在 Kc 表达式中；只有气态和水溶液物种出现。
For gas-phase equilibria, Kp is calculated using partial pressures. The partial pressure of a gas is its mole fraction multiplied by total pressure:
对于气相平衡，Kp 用分压计算。气体的分压等于其摩尔分数乘以总压：
pA = (moles of A ÷ total moles) × total pressure
pA =（A 的物质的量 ÷ 总物质的量）× 总压
The Kp expression follows the same form as Kc but uses partial pressures:
Kp 表达式与 Kc 形式相同，但使用分压：
Kp = (pC)ᶜ(pD)ᵈ / (pA)ᵃ(pB)ᵇ
Kp has units unless the sum of gaseous moles on both sides is equal. You must calculate mole fractions and partial pressures carefully before substituting into Kp.
除非两边气态物质总量相等，否则 Kp 有单位。在代入 Kp 表达式前，必须仔细计算摩尔分数和分压。
6. Le Chatelier's Principle and Equilibrium Shifts | 勒夏特列原理与平衡移动
Le Chatelier's principle states that if a system at equilibrium is disturbed, the position of equilibrium moves to oppose the change. You must be able to explain the effect of concentration, pressure and temperature changes.
勒夏特列原理指出，如果平衡体系受到干扰，平衡位置会朝减弱这种改变的方向移动。你必须能够解释浓度、压强和温度变化的影响。
- Increasing the concentration of a reactant shifts equilibrium to the right to remove the added substance.
- 增大反应物浓度会使平衡向右移动，以消耗添加的物质。
- Increasing pressure shifts equilibrium toward the side with fewer gaseous moles.
- 增大压强会使平衡向气态物质物质的量较少的方向移动。
- Increasing temperature shifts equilibrium in the endothermic direction.
- 升高温度会使平衡向吸热方向移动。
Only a change in temperature changes the value of Kc or Kp. If the forward reaction is exothermic, increasing temperature decreases K; if the forward reaction is endothermic, increasing temperature increases K. Pressure and concentration changes do not alter the equilibrium constant.
只有温度变化才会改变 Kc 或 Kp 的值。若正反应放热，升温会使 K 减小；若正反应吸热，升温会使 K 增大。压强和浓度变化不会改变平衡常数的数值。
A catalyst speeds up both forward and reverse reactions equally, so it does not change the position of equilibrium or the value of K. It only allows equilibrium to be reached faster.
催化剂同等程度地加快正、逆反应速率，因此不会改变平衡位置或 K 值。它只让体系更快达到平衡。
7. Bronsted-Lowry Acids and Bases | 布朗斯特-劳里酸碱理论
A Bronsted-Lowry acid is a proton donor, and a Bronsted-Lowry base is a proton acceptor. This definition is central to the CH04 paper because it applies to aqueous and non-aqueous systems.
布朗斯特-劳里酸是质子供体，布朗斯特-劳里碱是质子受体。这一定义在 CH04 试卷中非常核心，因为它适用于水溶液和非水体系。
O, so HCl is the acid and H₂O is the base. The conjugate acid-base pairs are HCl/Cl⁻ and H₃O⁺/H₂O.
例如，在反应 HCl + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + Cl⁻ 中，HCl 向 H₂O 提供质子，因此 HCl 是酸，H₂O 是碱。共轭酸碱对为 HCl/Cl⁻ 和 H₃O⁺/H₂O。
Strong acids such as HCl, HNO₃ and H₂SO₄ fully dissociate in water, while weak acids such as CH₃COOH only partially dissociate. This distinction is essential for pH calculations.
强酸（如 HCl、HNO₃ 和 H₂SO₄）在水中完全电离，而弱酸（如 CH₃COOH）只部分电离。这一区别对 pH 计算至关重要。
8. pH, Kw and Ka Calculations | pH、Kw 与 Ka 计算
The pH of a solution is defined as:
溶液的 pH 定义为：
pH = –log₁₀[H⁺]
To convert from pH to hydrogen ion concentration, use [H⁺] = 10⁻ᵖᴴ. Always give pH to two decimal places unless the question states otherwise.
从 pH 换算氢离子浓度时，使用 [H⁺] = 10⁻ᵖᴴ。除非题目另有要求，pH 通常保留两位小数。
The ionic product of water at 298 K is:
水在 298 K 下的离子积为：
Kw = [H⁺][OH⁻] = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴ mol² dm⁻⁶
For a weak acid HA dissociating as HA ⇌ H⁺ + A⁻, the acid dissociation constant is:
对于弱酸 HA 的电离 HA ⇌ H⁺ + A⁻，酸解离常数为：
Ka = [H⁺][A⁻] / [HA]
For a weak acid at concentration C, if x is the hydrogen ion concentration, then assuming x is much smaller than C gives:
对于浓度为 C 的弱酸，若 x 为氢离子浓度，假设 x 远小于 C，可得：
[H⁺] = √Ka × [HA]
This approximation is valid only when [HA] – usually holds for weak acids with small Ka. You must state the assumption in exam answers.
这一近似只有在 [HA] – x ≈ [HA] 时成立，通常适用于 Ka 较小的弱酸。在考试答案中必须写明这一假设。
le, calculate the pH of 0.100 mol dm⁻³ CH₃COOH with Ka = 1.74 × 10⁻⁵ mol dm⁻³. Then [H⁺] = √1.74 × 10⁻⁵ × 0.100 = 1.32 × 10⁻³ mol dm⁻³, so pH = –log₁₀(1.32 × 10⁻³) = 2.88.
例如，计算 0.100 mol dm⁻³ CH₃COOH（Ka = 1.74 × 10⁻⁵ mol dm⁻³）的 pH。则 [H⁺] = √1.74 × 10⁻⁵ × 0.100 = 1.32 × 10⁻³ mol dm⁻³，因此 pH = –log₁₀(1.32 × 10⁻³) = 2.88。
9. Buffer Solutions and Titration Curves | 缓冲溶液与滴定曲线
A buffer solution resists changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added. An acidic buffer consists of a weak acid and its conjugate base, usually as a salt, for example CH₃COOH and CH₃COONa.
缓冲溶液在加入少量酸或碱时能够抵抗 pH 变化。酸性缓冲液由弱酸及其共轭碱组成，通常以盐的形式存在，例如 CH₃COOH 和 CH₃COONa。
The equilibrium in an acidic buffer is CH₃COOH ⇌ CH₃COO⁻ + H⁺. Added acid H⁺ reacts with CH₃COO⁻ to form CH₃COOH; added base OH⁻ reacts with CH₃COOH to form CH₃COO⁻ and water. Both processes keep [H⁺] nearly constant.
酸性缓冲液中的平衡为 CH₃COOH ⇌ CH₃COO⁻ + H⁺。加入酸时，H⁺ 与 CH₃COO⁻ 反应生成 CH₃COOH；加入碱时，OH⁻ 与 CH₃COOH 反应生成 CH₃COO⁻ 和水。两种过程都使 [H⁺] 几乎保持不变。
To calculate the pH of an acidic buffer, rearrange the Ka expression:
计算酸性缓冲液 pH 时，可重排 Ka 表达式：
[H⁺] = Ka × [HA] / [A⁻]
pH = pKa + log₁₀([A⁻]/[HA]). This is useful when the salt and acid concentrations differ.
取负对数得 pH = pKa + log₁₀([A⁻]/[HA])。当盐和酸浓度不同时，此式很有用。
Titration curves show how pH changes as base is added to acid. A strong acid-strong base curve has a long vertical section around pH 7; a weak acid-strong base curve has an equivalence point above pH 7 and a buffer region before it. Indicators
