A-level Chemistry: Year 1
Values and conversions
Also: temperature in kelvin = temperature in °C + 273; 1 dm³ = 1000 cm³; 1 m³ = 1000 dm³; 1 tonne = 1000 kg; 1 atm = 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa. SI prefixes from nano to giga.

| C-Cl | 650 to 800 |
| C-O | 1000 to 1300 |
| C=C | 1620 to 1670 |
| C=O | 1650 to 1750 |
| C≡N | 2100 to 2250 |
| C-H | 2800 to 3100 |
| O-H (carboxylic acid) | 2500 to 3200 (very broad) |
| O-H (alcohol, phenol) | 3200 to 3550 (broad) |
| N-H | 3300 to 3500 |
NMR chemical shifts
Two tables relative to TMS = 0: carbon-13 chemical shifts by type of carbon and proton chemical shifts by type of proton. Shifts marked with an asterisk are variable, depending on concentration and solvent.
Not in the Eduqas booklet
- No electrode potentials and no Arrhenius equation.
- No periodic trends data beyond the periodic table.
- No formulae. Constants and spectroscopy ranges only.
Two gas volumes, one booklet
The Eduqas booklet's constants page gives two molar gas volumes: 22.4 dm³ mol⁻¹ at 273 K and 1 atm, and 24.5 dm³ mol⁻¹ at 298 K and 1 atm. Pick the one that matches the conditions in the question.
It also gives the density of water as 1.00 g cm⁻³, an atmosphere as 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa and temperature conversion K = °C + 273, which saves a few quick lookups.
Work out the relative atomic mass of an element from its isotopes and their abundances.

The Eduqas sheet and the other boards
| Board | Sheet | What it holds |
|---|---|---|
| AQA | A-level Chemistry Data Booklet (7405), June 2023 series insert | Periodic table, an element list, three data tables (A infrared, B proton NMR, C carbon-13 NMR) and tables for phosphate and sugars, bases and amino acids; no table of constants |
| Edexcel | Data Booklet (9CH0), Issue 2, Summer 2017 | Physical constants, infrared, NMR, Pauling electronegativities, standard electrode potentials and the periodic table |
| OCR A | Data Sheet for Chemistry A (H032, H432), 4 pages | General information including the Arrhenius equation, infrared, NMR charts and the periodic table |
| Eduqas (this guide) | GCE AS/A level Chemistry Data Booklet (B410U10-1A) | Constants and conversions, infrared, carbon-13 and proton NMR, and the periodic table |
| WJEC | GCE AS/A level Chemistry Data Booklet | The same opening constants as Eduqas, then infrared, NMR and the periodic table |
| CCEA | Chemistry Data Sheet, GCE A/AS examinations (subject code 1110) | General information, infrared and proton NMR tables, and the periodic table |
The Eduqas and WJEC booklets open with the same list of constants. Eduqas's code is B410U10-1A. OCR differs, with 24.0 dm³ mol⁻¹ at room temperature and pressure.
Exam answers
Answers on this site arrive after you mark your daily paper. They are our own and have no Eduqas source.
Daily papers with the Eduqas booklet
Both Chemistry 1 and Chemistry 2 are short 8-question papers. Pay attention to temperature conditions when a gas volume appears.
Eduqas booklet traps
- Using 24.5 at 273 K.
- Forgetting K = °C + 273.
- Treating very broad and broad O-H bands as the same.
