The equations you learn

GCSE Chemistry, Required practicals and maths skills, 20 minutes

Sign in

Every GCSE Chemistry equation in one place, rearranging them, and choosing the right one.

What you will learn

  • Recall the GCSE Chemistry equations with their units
  • Rearrange them
  • Choose which one a question needs

All of them, with units

GCSE Chemistry papers give a periodic table but no equation sheet, so these are learnt.

QuantityEquationUnits
molesn = mass ÷ Mrmol, g
concentrationmass ÷ volume, or moles ÷ volumeg/dm³, mol/dm³
gas volume at RTP (Higher, Chemistry only)volume = moles × 24dm³
percentage yield (Chemistry only)actual ÷ theoretical × 100%
atom economy (Chemistry only)Mr of useful product ÷ total Mr of reactants × 100%
mean ratequantity ÷ timeg/s, cm³/s, mol/s
Rfdistance moved by substance ÷ distance moved by solventnone
