This resource is suitable for students studying major A Level Chemistry specifications, including AQA, OCR and Edexcel. It is particularly useful for revision, tutoring, independent study, homework, intervention lessons, exam preparation and structured support across Year 12 and Year 13.

The book teaches each calculation type clearly and methodically, with step-by-step explanations, worked examples, practice questions and full worked solutions. It is designed to build confidence gradually, from the foundations of amount of substance to more demanding topics such as equilibria, thermodynamics, kinetics, buffers, electrode potentials and synoptic exam practice.

Chapters included:

1 - The Mathematical Language of A Level Chemistry
2 - Atomic Masses, Isotopes and Mass Spectrometry
3 - Amount of Substance: The Mole at A Level
4 - Formulae, Equations and Stoichiometric Strategy
5 - Solutions, Concentration and Dilution
6 - Titrations and Volumetric Analysis
7 - Gases and Volumes
8 - Energetics I: Calorimetry and Bond Enthalpy
9 - Energetics II: Hess Cycles, Lattice Enthalpy and Born-Haber Cycles
10 - Thermodynamics: Entropy, Gibbs Free Energy and Feasibility
11 - Kinetics I: Rate Equations and Reaction Orders
12 - Kinetics II: Rates, Graphs and Experimental Data
13 - Kinetics III: The Arrhenius Equation and Activation Energy
14 - Equilibria I: Kc and Concentration Equilibria
15 - Equilibria II: Kp and Partial Pressures
16 - Acids, Bases, pH and Buffers
17 - Redox, Electrode Potentials and Electrochemical Cells
18 - Analytical Chemistry Calculations
19 - Organic Synthesis, Yield and Purity Calculations
20 - Practical Chemistry, Uncertainty and Data Handling
21 - Synoptic Calculation Strategies
22 - Mixed Exam Practice
23 - Answers and Worked Solutions

The resource includes:

• Clear textbook-style explanations
• Step-by-step worked examples
• Practice questions throughout
• Mixed exam-style questions
• Full worked solutions for the end-of-chapter questions
• Common mistake notes to help students avoid exam traps
• Graphs, diagrams and structured calculation methods
• A table of relative atomic masses
• A detailed index for quick reference
• Clean, printable formatting suitable for revision folders or tutoring use

This is ideal for students who struggle with A Level Chemistry calculations, as well as higher-attaining students who need structured, challenging mixed practice before exams. It is also well suited to tutors, teachers and parents looking for a clear, printable calculation resource that students can work through independently or with guidance.
