Fundamental Principles
Chemistry calculators apply fundamental chemical laws and mathematical relationships to solve quantitative problems. These tools incorporate established principles such as the law of conservation of mass, ideal gas law (PV = nRT), stoichiometric ratios from balanced equations, and thermodynamic relationships (ΔG = ΔH - TΔS).
Each calculator uses specific formulas relevant to its domain. For instance, molarity calculations use M = n/V (moles per liter), while pH calculations apply pH = -log[H⁺] based on hydrogen ion concentration. Stoichiometry calculators determine mole ratios from balanced chemical equations to predict product quantities and identify limiting reagents.
Concentration Calculations
Molarity, molality, and normality calculators determine solution concentrations using molar mass, volume, and mass relationships. The dilution calculator applies CΓéüVΓéü = CΓééVΓéé to find final concentrations after dilution.
Molarity (M) = moles of solute / liters of solutionReaction Stoichiometry
Stoichiometry calculators use balanced chemical equations to determine mole ratios between reactants and products. They calculate theoretical yield, identify limiting reagents, and compute percent yield.
% Yield = (Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield) × 100Thermodynamics & Energy
Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, and entropy calculatorsdetermine reaction spontaneity and energy changes. These tools apply fundamental thermodynamic relationships to predict whether reactions proceed spontaneously.
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS (Gibbs Free Energy)Acid-Base Chemistry
pH calculators determine hydrogen ion concentration and solution acidity. Henderson-Hasselbalch calculators compute buffer pH values, while pKa calculators determine acid dissociation constants.

Essential Chemistry Concepts
Stoichiometry
The quantitative study of reactants and products in chemical reactions. Stoichiometry uses balanced equations and mole ratios to predict product amounts, determine limiting reagents, and calculate reaction yields based on the law of conservation of mass.
Concentration Units
Solutions are characterized by various concentration units: molarity (mol/L), molality (mol/kg), normality, mass percent, and mole fraction. Each unit serves specific applications in chemistry and affects how we calculate colligative properties.
Chemical Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium occurs when forward and reverse reaction rates equal. The equilibrium constant (K) quantifies this balance. Understanding equilibrium is essential for acid-base chemistry, solubility, and predicting reaction completion.
Thermodynamics
Chemical thermodynamics studies energy changes in reactions. Enthalpy (ΔH), entropy (ΔS), and Gibbs free energy (ΔG) determine whether reactions occur spontaneously and how much energy they release or consume.
Acid-Base Chemistry
pH measures solution acidity on a logarithmic scale. Buffer solutions resist pH changes using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. Understanding acid-base equilibria is crucial for biological systems and analytical chemistry.
Electrochemistry
Electrochemistry connects electrical and chemical energy. The Nernst equation calculates cell potentials, while Faraday's laws govern electrolysis. These principles enable batteries, fuel cells, and corrosion prevention.
Chemistry Calculator Formulas Explained
Master essential chemical formulas and chemistry calculation formulas with clear explanations
Molarity
Molarity measures the molar concentration of a solution
M = molarity, n = moles of solute, V = volume in liters
If you dissolve 0.5 moles of NaCl in 2 liters of water, M = 0.5/2 = 0.25 M
Molality
Molality expresses concentration as moles per kilogram of solvent
m = molality, n = moles of solute, mass = kilograms of solvent
Dissolving 1 mole in 0.5 kg solvent gives m = 1/0.5 = 2 m
Percent Yield
Percent yield measures reaction efficiency by comparing actual vs theoretical product
Actual = measured product amount, Theoretical = calculated maximum product
If theory predicts 10g but you get 8g: (8/10) × 100 = 80% yield
Dilution
The dilution formula calculates new concentrations when adding solvent
C₁ = initial concentration, V₁ = initial volume, C₂ = final concentration, V₂ = final volume
Diluting 10 mL of 2M solution to 50 mL: 2×10 = C₂×50, C₂ = 0.4 M
pH Calculation
pH quantifies solution acidity using hydrogen ion concentration
[H⁺] = hydrogen ion concentration in mol/L
If [H⁺] = 1×10⁻⁵ M, then pH = -log(10⁻⁵) = 5
Ideal Gas Law
The ideal gas law relates pressure, volume, temperature, and moles of gas
P = pressure (atm), V = volume (L), n = moles, R = 0.0821 L·atm/(mol·K), T = temperature (K)
1 mole at 273K and 1 atm: PV = 1×0.0821×273 = 22.4 L
