Understand it, then practise it.

A worked example for each of 56 calculations, drill problems for 31 of them, and 8 reference tables. Every number on every page is computed by the same tested calculator the rest of the site uses, so a solution cannot drift away from the maths.

Tables worth bookmarking

1H NMR residual solvent and trace impurity shifts

Chemical shifts for residual solvents and the trace impurities that show up in almost every 1H spectrum, in the eight deuterated solvents used most. Read across the row for the same impurity in a different solvent.

Buffer pKa values and temperature coefficients

pKa at 25 C for the buffers used on a biochemistry bench, with the temperature coefficient that tells you how far the pH moves when you take the buffer to the cold room. A buffer only buffers within about one pH unit of its pKa.

GHS hazard statements (H codes)

Every GHS hazard statement code with its official wording, as it appears on a reagent label and in section 2 of a safety data sheet.

Common ESI-MS adducts and their mass shifts

Adduct masses for electrospray mass spectrometry: what to add to the neutral monoisotopic mass, and what to divide by, to predict an observed m/z. Useful in reverse too, for identifying an unexpected peak as sodium rather than a product.

Antoine equation constants for common lab solvents

Antoine coefficients in the form log10(P in bar) = A - B / (T in K + C), with the temperature range each fit is valid over. Use them to predict a solvent’s vapour pressure, or the bath temperature a rotary evaporator needs at a given pressure.

Legacy and non-SI unit conversion factors

Exact conversion factors for the older units still printed on gauges, in patents, and in papers from before SI: atmospheres, Torr, mmHg, psi, calories, electronvolts, poise, and kilogram-force.
