1. Rate Equations and Determination | 速率方程与测定方法
he orders with respect to A and B. The overall order is m+n. The rate constant k is temperature-dependent and its units depend on the overall order: for zero order, mol dm⁻³ s⁻¹; first order, s⁻¹; second order, mol⁻¹ dm³ s⁻¹. To determine the rate equation experimentally, the initial rates method is often used— n be used to plot concentration-time graphs, from which half-lives or gradients reveal the order.
速率方程表示反应速率与反应物浓度的关系：rate = k[A]ᵐ[B]ⁿ，其中 m 和 n 分别是组分 A 和 B 的反应级数，总级数为 m+n。速率常数 k 与温度有关，其单位取决于总级数：零级为 mol dm⁻³ s⁻¹；一级为 s⁻¹；二级为 mol⁻¹ dm³ s⁻¹。实验上常采用初始速率法测定速率方程，即测定不同起始浓度下的初始速率。也可通过连续监测（如气体体积、颜色变化）绘制浓度–时间图，利用半衰期或切线斜率确定反应级数。
2. The Arrhenius Equation and Activation Energy | 阿伦尼乌斯方程与活化能
nius equation links the rate constant k to temperature T and activation energy Eₐ: k = A e–Eₐ/RT. Taking natural logarithms gives ln k = ln A – Eₐ/(RT). A graph of ln k against 1/T yields a straight line with gradient = – entation. At higher temperatures, a greater proportion of molecules exceed the activation energy, sharply increasing k.
阿伦尼乌斯方程将速率常数 k 与温度 T 和活化能 Eₐ 联系起来：k = A e–Eₐ/RT。取自然对数得 ln k = ln A – Eₐ/(RT)。以 ln k 对 1/T 作图得到一条直线，其斜率 = –Eₐ/R，截距 = ln A，由此可计算活化能。指前因子 A 与碰撞频率及取向有关。温度升高，超过活化能的分子比例显著增加，k 骤升。
3. Chemical Equilibria: Kc and Kp | 化学平衡：Kc 与 Kp
For a reversible reaction aA + bB ⇌ cC + dD, the equilibrium constant in terms of concentration is Kc = [C]ᶜ[D]ᵈ / ([A]ᵃ[B]ᵇ). For gaseous systems, the pressure-based constant is Kp = (pC)ᶜ indicates the equilibrium lies far to the right; a very small K (<10⁻¹⁰) indicates it lies far to the left. Le Chatelier' n equilibrium position when conditions change, but only temperature alters the value of K.
对于可逆反应 aA + bB ⇌ cC + dD，浓度平衡常数 Kc = [C]ᶜ[D]ᵈ / ([A]ᵃ[B]ᵇ)。对于气体反应，分压平衡常数 Kp = (pC)ᶜ(pD)ᵈ / (pA)ᵃ(pB)ᵇ，分压单位须一致。Kc 和 Kp 仅在指定温度下为常数。K 值很大（>10¹⁰）表示平衡强烈偏向产物；K 值极小（<10⁻¹⁰）表示平衡强烈偏向反应物。勒夏特列原理可预测条件改变时平衡位置的移动，但只有温度会改变 K 的数值。
4. Acid-Base Equilibria: Ka, pKa and pH | 酸碱平衡：Ka、pKa 与 pH
Weak acids partially dissociate: HA + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + A⁻. The acid dissociation constant Ka = [H₃O⁺][A⁻]/[HA], and pKa = –log₁₀(Ka). The smaller the pKa, the stronger the acid. For a weak acid, [H₃O⁺] ≈ √Ka × [HA]₀. The pH of a strong acid is simply – product of water Kw = [H⁺][OH⁻] = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴ mol² dm⁻⁶ at 298 K, and hence pH + pOH = 14.
弱酸部分电离：HA + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + A⁻。酸解离常数 Ka = [H₃O⁺][A⁻]/[HA]，pKa = –log₁₀(Ka)。pKa 越小，酸性越强。对于弱酸，[H₃O⁺] ≈ √Ka × [HA]₀。强酸的 pH 可直接由 –log₁₀[H⁺] 计算。水的离子积 Kw = [H⁺][OH⁻] = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴ mol² dm⁻⁶（298 K），故 pH + pOH = 14。
5. Buffer Solutions and Henderson-Hasselbalch | 缓冲溶液和亨德森-哈塞尔巴赫方程
d its conjugate acid). The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for an acidic buffer is pH = pKa + log₁₀([A⁻]/[HA]). The buffer capacity is greatest when [A⁻] = [HA], i.e. pH = pKa. In the CH04 exam, common examples include ethanoic acid/sodium ethanoate and ammonium chloride/ammonia. When H⁺ is added, A⁻ neutralises it; when OH⁻ is added, HA neutralises it, thus maintaining pH.
缓冲溶液能抵卸少量酸或碱加入时引起的 pH 变化，由弱酸及其共轭碱（或弱碱及其共轭酸）组成。酸性缓冲溶液的亨德森-哈塞尔巴赫方程为：pH = pKa + log₁₀([A⁻]/[HA])。当 [A⁻] = [HA] 时，即 pH = pKa，缓冲容量最大。CH04 考试中常见的例子有乙酸/乙酸钠和氯化铵/氨水。加入 H⁺ 时，A⁻ 将其中和；加入 OH⁻ 时，HA 将其中和，从而稳定 pH。
6. Thermodynamics: Entropy and Gibbs Free Energy | 热力学：熵和吉布斯自由能
t constant temperature and pressure is determined by the Gibbs free energy change: ΔG = ΔH – G < 0. The standard free energy change ΔG° is related to the equilibrium constant by ΔG° = – a system becomes more disordered (e.g., more gas molecules). The total entropy change, ΔStotal = ΔSsystem surroundings, must be positive for a spontaneous process. Calculation of ΔS_surroundings = –ΔH/T links the concepts.
恒温恒压下反应的可行性取决于吉布斯自由能变：ΔG = ΔH – TΔS。若 ΔG < 0，反应热力学可行。标准自由能变 ΔG° 与平衡常数相关：ΔG° = –RT ln K。熵 S 衡量能量的分散程度；体系混乱度增加（如气体分子数增多）时 ΔS 为正值。总熵变 ΔStotal = ΔSsystem + ΔS_surroundings 必须大于零过程才能自发。ΔS_surroundings = –ΔH/T 的计算串联起相关概念。
7. Carbonyl Compounds: Aldehydes and Ketones | 羰基化合物：醛和酮
y the 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNPH) test, which gives an orange precipitate. Distinguishing between them relies on mild oxidising agents: aldehydes are easily oxidised to carboxylic acids, giving a positive test with Tollens' reagent (silver mirror) or Fehling' on of carbonyls with NaBH₄ yields primary and secondary alcohols, respectively. Nucleophilic addition with HCN produces hydroxynitriles, an important chain-lengthening reaction.
醛和酮均含有 C=O 官能团，可通过 2,4-二硝基苯肼 (2,4-DNPH) 检验，产生橙色沉淀。区分二者需借助温和氧化剂：醛易被氧化为羧酸，能发生 Tollens 试剂反应（银镜）或斐林试剂反应（砖红色沉淀），而酮不反应。用 NaBH₄ 还原羰基化合物分别得到伯醇和仲醇。与 HCN 发生亲核加成生成羟基腈，是重要的增碳反应。
8. Carboxylic Acids and Their Derivatives | 羧酸及其衍生物
Carboxylic acids (RCOOH) are weak acids that react with metals, bases and carbonates. Their functional derivatives include acyl chlorides (RCOCl), acid anhydrides ((RCO)₂O), esters (RCOOR') and amides (RCONH₂). Acyl chlorides are the most reactive, undergoing vigorous hydrolysis, esterification and amide formation, often at room temperature. Acid anhydrides react similarly but more gently, making them suitable for making aspirin. Esters are formed by reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst (Fischer esterification) or using acyl chloride/anhydride with an alcohol. Amides can be prepared from acyl chlorides and ammonia or amines.
羧酸 (RCOOH) 为弱酸，能与金属、碱及碳酸盐反应。其衍生物包括酰氯 (RCOCl)、酸酐 ((RCO)₂O)、酯 (RCOOR') 和酰胺 (RCONH₂)。酰氯最活泼，常温下即可剧烈水解、酯化和酰胺化。酸酐反应条件温和，适用于合成阿司匹林等。酯的制备可通过羧酸与醇在酸催化下进行（费歇尔酯化），或用酰氯/酸酐与醇反应。酰胺可由酰氯与氨或胺反应制得。
9. Amines: Preparation and Reactions | 胺：制备和反应
Primary amines can be prepared by nucleophilic substitution of halogenoalkanes with excess ammonia, or by reduction of nitriles using LiAlH₄ (or H₂/Ni). Aromatic amines, such as phenylamine, are made by reducing nitrobenzene with Sn/HCl. Amines act as bases because the lone pair on nitrogen can accept a proton, forming an alkylammonium ion. They react with acids to form salts. With acyl chlorides or acid anhydrides, primary amines produce secondary amides. Primary aliphatic amines react with HNO₂ to give nitrogen gas and alcohols, while aromatic amines form diazonium salts under ice-cold conditions, which are key intermediates for azo dyes.
伯胺可通过卤代烃与过量的氨发生亲核取代制备，或由腈经 LiAlH₄（或 H₂/Ni）还原得到。芳香胺如苯胺可由硝基苯经 Sn/HCl 还原制得。胺分子中氮上的孤对电子可接受质子，因此具有碱性，生成烷基铵离子。胺与酸反应成盐。伯胺与酰氯或酸酐反应生成仲酰胺。脂肪族伯胺与 HNO₂反应放出氮气并生成醇；芳香胺在冰冷条件下形成重氮盐，是合成偶氮染料的重要中间体。
10. Polymers: Condensation and Addition | 聚合物：缩聚和加聚
Addition polymers are formed from alkenes or substituted alkenes without loss of small molecules, e.g. poly(ethene), poly(propene). Condensation polymers are produced from monomers with two functional groups, releasing a small molecule such as water or HCl. Polyesters (e.g. Terylene) are formed from a diol and a dicarboxylic acid, while polyamides (e.g. nylon-6,6) are made from a diamine and a dicarboxylic acid or from a single monomer like aminocaproic acid. Identifying the repeat unit involves breaking the appropriate bonds (C–O for polyesters, C–N for polyamides) in the condensation linkage. Biodegradability and intermolecular hydrogen bonding in polyamides are common discussion points.
加聚物由烯烃或取代烯烃通过打开双键生成，不脱除小分子，如聚乙烯、聚丙烯。缩聚物由含两个官能团的单体聚合，同时脱除水或 HCl 等小分子。聚酯（如涤纶）由二醇与二羧酸合成；聚酰胺（如尼龙-6,6）由二胺与二羧酸合成，或由单种单体如氨基己酸聚合。识别重复单元需在缩聚键（聚酯的 C–O，聚酰胺的 C–N）处进行断键分析。聚酰胺的生物降解性和分子间氢键是常考话题。
11. Organic Analysis: IR, Mass Spectrometry and NMR | 有机分析：红外、质谱与核磁共振
ectroscopy identifies functional groups through characteristic absorption bands: C=O (1680–1750 cm⁻¹), O–H in acids (2500–3300 cm⁻¹, broad), N–H (3300–3500 cm⁻¹), C≡N (2220– oton NMR gives information about the number of hydrogen environments (chemical shift δ), the neighbouring hydrogens via splitting patterns (n+1 rule), and relative peak areas from integration traces. Carbon-13 NMR shows the number of non-equivalent carbon environments. Combining these techniques allows confident structural elucidation.
红外光谱 (IR) 通过特征吸收峰识别官能团：C=O (1680–1750 cm⁻¹)，酸中的 O–H (2500–3300 cm⁻¹，宽峰)，N–H (3300–3500 cm⁻¹)，C≡N (2220–2260 cm⁻¹)。质谱 (MS) 提供分子离子峰 (M⁺) 以确定相对分子质量，碎片峰辅助推导结构。氢核磁共振 (¹H NMR) 给出不同化学环境氢的数目（化学位移 δ）、相邻氢的裂分（n+1规则）以及积分面积比。碳-13 核磁共振显示不等价碳环境的数目。综合运用这些技术能准确推断有机物结构。
