1. Multiple Choice: Atomic Structure and Ions | 选择题：原子结构与离子
Question: An atom has 13 protons, 14 neutrons and 10 electrons. What is the charge on the ion formed?
题目：某原子含有 13 个质子、14 个中子与 10 个电子。它所形成离子的电荷是多少？
Answer: The atomic number is given by the number of protons, so this is aluminium (Al). The number of electrons is less than protons by 3, giving a 3+ charge. The correct choice is Al³⁺.
答案：质子数等于原子序数，因此这是铝（Al）。电子数比质子数少 3，所以带 3 个正电荷。正确选项为 Al³⁺。
Explanation: In a neutral atom, electrons equal protons. Here there are 3 fewer electrons, so the ion carries a 3+ charge. The number of neutrons does not affect the charge – they only contribute to the mass number.
解释：在中性原子中，电子数等于质子数。此题中电子少了 3 个，因此离子带 3+ 的电荷。中子数不影响电荷，它们只贡献质量数。
2. Bonding: Ionic vs Covalent | 化学键：离子键与共价键
Question: Explain why magnesium oxide has a high melting point but carbon dioxide is a gas at room temperature.
题目：解释为什么氧化镁具有高熔点，而二氧化碳在室温下为气体。
Answer: Magnesium oxide consists of a giant ionic lattice with strong electrostatic forces between oppositely charged Mg²⁺ and O²⁻ ions. A lot of energy is needed to break these bonds, so the melting point is high. Carbon dioxide exists as simple covalent molecules with weak intermolecular forces that require little energy to overcome, so it is a gas at room temperature.
答案：氧化镁是由 Mg²⁺ 与 O²⁻ 离子通过强静电作用构成的巨型离子晶格，破坏这些键需要大量能量，因此熔点很高。二氧化碳以简单共价分子形式存在，分子间作用力很弱，只需很少能量即可克服，因此在室温下为气体。
Key point: Structure determines properties. Giant structures have high melting points; simple molecular substances have low melting points.
关键点：结构决定性质。巨型结构具有高熔点；简单分子物质则熔点较低。
3. Balancing Equations and Relative Formula Mass | 方程式配平与相对式量
O₂ → __CO₂ + __H₂O. Then calculate the relative formula mass (Mᵣ) of CO₂. (Aᵣ: C=12, O=16)
题目：配平甲烷燃烧的化学方程式：__CH₄ + __O₂ → __CO₂ + __H₂O。然后计算 CO₂ 的相对分子质量（Mᵣ）。（Aᵣ：C = 12，O = 16）
Balanced equation: CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O
配平后的方程式：CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O
Calculation: Mᵣ(CO₂) = 12 + (2 × 16) = 12 + 32 = 44
计算：Mᵣ(CO₂) = 12 + (2 × 16) = 12 + 32 = 44
Common mistake: Students sometimes forget to multiply the oxygen atoms by 2 when using relative atomic masses. Always count each atom in the formula properly.
常见错误：在使用相对原子质量时，学生有时忘记将氧原子数乘以 2。务必准确计算化学式中的每一个原子。
4. Mole Calculations: Moles to Mass | 摩尔计算：物质的量与质量
tion: What mass of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is needed to prepare 0.250 mol of the substance? (Mᵣ of NaOH = 40)
题目：制备 0.250 mol 氢氧化钠（NaOH）需要多少质量？（NaOH 的 Mᵣ = 40）
Formula: mass = moles × Mᵣ
m = n × Mᵣ
Calculation: mass = 0.250 mol × 40 g/mol = 10.0 g
计算：质量 = 0.250 mol × 40 g/mol = 10.0 g
Always show full working in exams. Even if the final answer is out by a small rounding error, marks are awarded for correct use of the formula and substitution.
考试中务必展示完整步骤。即使最终答案因四舍五入略有偏差，也能因为正确使用公式和代入数据而获得步骤分。
5. Acid-Base Neutralisation and pH | 酸碱中和与 pH
Question: Hydrochloric acid (HCl) reacts with calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). Suggest the products and describe how the pH changes as the acid and solid carbonate are mixed in a beaker.
题目：盐酸（HCl）与碳酸钙（CaCO₃）反应。写出反应产物，并描述在烧杯中混合酸与固态碳酸盐时 pH 如何变化。
quation: hydrochloric acid + calcium carbonate → calcium chloride + water + carbon dioxide
文字表达式：盐酸 + 碳酸钙 → 氯化钙 + 水 + 二氧化碳
Balanced equation: 2HCl(aq) + CaCO₃(s) → CaCl₂(aq) + H₂O(l) + CO₂(g)
配平方程式：2HCl(aq) + CaCO₃(s) → CaCl₂(aq) + H₂O(l) + CO₂(g)
pH change: Initially, the HCl solution has a low pH (acidic, ~1–2). As CaCO₃ is added, the acid is neutralised, and the pH increases. When all the acid has reacted, the pH will be near 7 (if excess solid carbonate remains) or slightly basic if baking soda is used and dissolved.
pH 变化：初始盐酸溶液 pH 低（酸性，约 1–2）。加入 CaCO₃ 后酸被中和，pH 升高。当所有酸反应完毕，如有过量固体碳酸盐存在，pH 接近 7（或略微呈碱性）。
6. Electrolysis of Aqueous Solutions | 水溶液电解
Question: During the electrolysis of aqueous copper(II) sulfate using inert electrodes, copper metal is deposited at the cathode. Explain why, using half equations and referring to the reactivity series.
题目：用惰性电极电解硫酸铜水溶液时，铜金属在阴极析出。请用半方程式并结合金属活动性顺序加以解释。
en gas is released from the discharge of hydroxide ions: 4OH⁻(aq) → O₂(g) + 2H₂O(l) + 4e⁻.
观察：阴极（负极）处，铜离子得到电子生成铜原子：Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Cu(s)。阳极处，氢氧根离子放电释放出氧气：4OH⁻(aq) → O₂(g) + 2H₂O(l) + 4e⁻。
Explanation: The solution contains Cu²⁺, H⁺ (from water), and SO₄²⁻. Copper is less reactive than hydrogen, so Cu²⁺ ions are preferentially discharged at the cathode rather than H⁺ ions. At the anode, hydroxide ions are discharged instead of sulfate ions because OH⁻ is easier to oxidise.
解释：溶液中含有 Cu²⁺、H⁺（来自水）和 SO₄²⁻。铜的活泼性比氢弱，因此阴极上优先放电的是 Cu²⁺ 而不是 H⁺。阳极上，氢氧根离子比硫酸根离子更容易被氧化，所以 OH⁻ 放电。
7. Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions | 放热与吸热反应
Question: The reaction between citric acid solution and sodium hydrogencarbonate is endothermic. Describe what you would feel if you touched the reaction vessel during the reaction and explain in terms of bond breaking and bond making.
题目：柠檬酸溶液与碳酸氢钠的反应是吸热的。描述反应过程中触摸反应容器会有什么感觉，并从断键与成键的角度加以解释。
Observation: The beaker feels cold to the touch because the system absorbs heat from the surroundings.
观察：烧杯摸起来是冷的，因为体系从周围环境中吸收了热量。
Energy explanation: In an endothermic reaction, more energy is required to break bonds in the reactants than is released when new bonds form in the products. The overall energy change is positive (heat taken in). For an exothermic reaction, the opposite is true – more energy is released in bond making, so the container feels warm.
能量解释：在吸热反应中，断裂反应物化学键所需的能量大于生成产物新键时释放的能量，总能量变化为正（吸收热量）。放热反应则相反——成键释放的能量更多，因此容器摸起来发热。
8. Rates of Reaction: Collision Theory | 反应速率：碰撞理论
Question: State and explain two ways to increase the rate of reaction between magnesium ribbon and dilute hydrochloric acid, other than using a catalyst.
题目：除了使用催化剂，请提出两种增大镁条与稀盐酸反应速率的方法，并加以解释。
Method 1: Increase the concentration of the acid. With more reactant particles per unit volume, there are more frequent collisions per second, so a greater proportion of collisions have enough energy to react.
方法 1：增大酸浓度。单位体积内反应物粒子数增多，每秒有效碰撞次数增加，因此反应速率增大。
Method 2: Increase the surface area of the magnesium by using powder instead of a ribbon. A larger surface area provides more sites for collisions, raising the frequency of successful collisions.
方法 2：用镁粉代替镁条以增大表面积。更大的表面积提供更多的碰撞位点，提高有效碰撞频率。
Link to collision theory: For a reaction to occur, particles must collide with energy greater than or equal to the activation energy. Both methods increase the number of successful collisions per second.
与碰撞理论的联系：反应发生需要粒子以不低于活化能的能量碰撞。上述两种方法都增大了每秒成功碰撞的次数。
9. Equilibrium and Le Chatelier's Principle | 平衡与勒夏特列原理
Question: Consider the equilibrium: N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) ⇌ 2NH₃(g) (ΔH = – fect on the yield of ammonia when (a) pressure is increased, (b) temperature is decreased.
题目：考虑平衡：N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) ⇌ 2NH₃(g)（ΔH = –92 kJ/mol）。预测（a）增大压强；（b）降低温度时对氨产率的影响。
(a) Increasing pressure will shift the equilibrium to the side with fewer gas molecules. The right-hand side has 2 moles of gas compared with 4 moles on the left, so the forward reaction is favoured, increasing the yield of NH₃.
（a）增大压强使平衡向气体分子数减少的方向移动。右侧有 2 mol 气体，左侧有 4 mol 气体，因此正向反应更有利，氨的产率提高。
(b) The forward reaction is exothermic (negative ΔH). Decreasing temperature shifts the equilibrium in the exothermic direction to release heat. Thus the forward reaction is favoured, again increasing the yield of ammonia.
（b）正向反应放热（ΔH 为负）。降低温度使平衡向放热方向移动，即正向反应，同样提高氨产率。
This is an application of Le Chatelier's Principle: a system at equilibrium, when subjected to a change in conditions, shifts to partially counteract that change.
这是勒夏特列原理的应用：处于平衡的体系在条件改变时，会向削弱这种变化的方向移动。
10. Required Practical: Titration | 必做实验：滴定
with 0.100 mol/dm³ sulfuric acid. The average titre was 23.50 cm³. Calculate the concentration of the NaOH solution. The equation is: 2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O.
题目：在测定氢氧化钠溶液浓度的滴定中，学生将 25.0 cm³ NaOH 移入锥形瓶，用 0.100 mol/dm³ 硫酸滴定，平均滴定体积为 23.50 cm³。计算 NaOH 溶液的浓度。方程式：2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O。
s of H₂SO₄ used = concentration × volume = 0.100 mol/dm³ × (23.50/1000) dm³ = 0.00235 mol.
步骤 1：H₂SO₄ 物质的量 = 浓度 × 体积 = 0.100 mol/dm³ × (23.50/1000) dm³ = 0.00235 mol。
he equation, 2 mol NaOH react with 1 mol H₂SO₄. Moles of NaOH = 2 × 0.00235 = 0.00470 mol.
步骤 2：根据方程式，2 mol NaOH 与 1 mol H₂SO₄ 反应。NaOH 物质的量 = 2 × 0.00235 = 0.00470 mol。
NaOH = moles/volume = 0.00470 mol/(25.0/1000) dm³ = 0.188 mol/dm³ (3 significant figures).
步骤 3：NaOH 浓度 = 物质的量 / 体积 = 0.00470 mol/(25.0/1000) dm³ = 0.188 mol/dm³（3 位有效数字）。
Technical tip: Always use dm³ for volume calculations; remember to divide cm³ by 1000. Use the stoichiometric ratio from the balanced equation correctly.
技术提示：体积计算始终使用 dm³；记得将 cm³ 除以 1000。正确使用配平方程式中的化学计量比。
