Data Booklet Summary

Periodic table and constants. Quick reference for IB Chemistry exams.

Physical Constants

Fundamental Constants

ConstantValueUnit
Avogadro's number (Nₐ)6.022 × 10²³mol⁻¹
Gas constant (R)8.314J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹
Boltzmann constant (k)1.381 × 10⁻²³J K⁻¹
Planck's constant (h)6.626 × 10⁻³⁴J s
Speed of light (c)2.998 × 10⁸m s⁻¹

Thermodynamics

Enthalpy

ΔH = H_products - H_reactants
q = mcΔT
ΔH = ΣΔH_f(products) - ΣΔH_f(reactants)

Entropy

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
ΔG < 0: spontaneous
ΔG = 0: equilibrium
ΔG > 0: non-spontaneous

Kinetics

Rate Laws

Rate = k[A]^m[B]^n
k = Ae^(-Ea/RT) (Arrhenius)
ln(k₂/k₁) = -Ea/R (1/T₂ - 1/T₁)

Equilibrium

Equilibrium Constants

Kc = [products]/[reactants]
Kp = Kc(RT)^Δn
ΔG° = -RT ln(K)
