Chemistry Calculators

Fast, unit-aware calculators for the laws chemists use every day, from preparing solutions to predicting reaction rates and cell potentials.

Chemistry laws covered

These calculators cover the core quantitative laws of general and physical chemistry:

Every calculator converts units automatically (°C → K, kPa → Pa, mL → m³ and so on), so you avoid the most common source of chemistry mistakes.

Chemistry

Ideal Gas Law

For an ideal gas, the product of pressure and volume equals the amount of gas times the gas constant times the absolute temperature. (Émile Clapeyron, 1834)

Open the Ideal Gas Law calculator →
PV = nRT
Chemistry

Combined Gas Law

For a fixed amount of gas, PV/T is constant. Holding T constant gives Boyle's law, holding P constant gives Charles's law, and holding V constant gives Gay-Lussac's law.

P1V1T1 = P2V2T2
Chemistry

Molar Concentration

Molarity is the amount of solute in moles per litre of solution.

Open the Molarity calculator →
c = nV = mM · V
Chemistry

Dilution Equation

Diluting a solution does not change the amount of solute: the concentration times the volume is the same before and after.

C1V1 = C2V2
Chemistry

pH Definition (Sørensen)

pH is the negative base-10 logarithm of the hydrogen-ion activity, approximately −log₁₀[H⁺] in dilute solutions. (S. P. L. Sørensen, 1909)

Open the pH calculator →
pH = −log10[H+]    pH + pOH = 14
Chemistry

Law of Radioactive Decay

The number of undecayed nuclei decreases exponentially with time; in each half-life, half of what remains decays. (Ernest Rutherford & Frederick Soddy, 1902)

Open the Half-Life & Radioactive Decay calculator →
N(t) = N0 (12)t/t½ = N0 e−λt
Chemistry

Arrhenius Equation

The rate constant of a chemical reaction increases exponentially with temperature, governed by the activation energy. (Svante Arrhenius, 1889)

Open the Arrhenius Equation calculator →
k = A · exp(−EaRT)
Chemistry

Nernst Equation

The potential of an electrochemical cell depends on the standard potential, the temperature, and the ratio of product to reactant activities. (Walther Nernst, 1889)

Open the Nernst Equation calculator →
E = E° − RTnF ln Q
Chemistry

van 't Hoff Law of Osmotic Pressure

The osmotic pressure of a dilute solution equals the pressure the solute particles would exert as an ideal gas occupying the same volume. (Jacobus van 't Hoff, 1887)

Open the Osmotic Pressure calculator →
π = i M R T
Chemistry

Beer–Lambert Law

The absorbance of light by a solution is proportional to the concentration of the absorbing species and the path length. (Bouguer 1729, Lambert 1760, Beer 1852)

Open the Beer–Lambert Law calculator →
A = log10I0I = ε l c
Chemistry

Henry's Law

At constant temperature, the amount of a gas that dissolves in a liquid is proportional to its partial pressure above the liquid. (William Henry, 1803)

Open the Henry's Law calculator →
C = kH · P
