The Mathematical and Computational Models table from the Reference Tables for Physical Science: Chemistry (2025 Edition) is the equation sheet: five rows, each with an equation (or a set of equations) and the meaning of its variables. Each row belongs to a different standard, so links from the standards pages point at individual rows: the combined gas law supports HS-PS1-9; the heat equations HS-PS3-1; parts per million and n = MV HS-PS1-10 (n = MV also serves titration problems in HS-PS1-11); and the Coulombic force relationship HS-PS3-5, as well as the qualitative reasoning about electrical forces in HS-PS1-1, HS-PS1-3 and HS-PS2-6.
What the equations table shows
Combined gas law. P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 relates the pressure, volume and temperature of a fixed amount of gas before and after a change; holding one variable constant gives the relationship between the other two. Temperature must be in kelvin, so a calculation usually starts with the K = °C + 273.15 conversion. HS-PS1-9's assessment boundary covers the relationships among the variables, not the names of the individual gas laws.
Heat. q = mcΔT gives the heat absorbed or released when a substance changes temperature without changing phase; q = mHf the heat for melting or freezing; q = mHv the heat for boiling or condensing. Specific heat capacities and heats of fusion and vaporization are not on the 2025 tables (the 2011 edition's Table B gave water's 4.18 J/g·K, 334 J/g and 2260 J/g); the values a question needs are supplied in the cluster, and masses in kilograms or energies in kilojoules need the Selected Metric Prefixes.
Parts per million. ppm = (mass of solute ÷ mass of solution) × 1 000 000. HS-PS1-10's clarification statement lists ppm, molarity and percent by mass as the ways to express concentration, but only ppm and molarity are on the 2025 tables; a percent-by-mass calculation (August 2026 Q38) has to be done without a formula from the tables.
Molarity. n = MV: moles of solute equal molarity times volume in liters. It is the 2011 edition's M = n/V rearranged. Converting the moles to grams takes the molar mass, and a volume in milliliters takes the milli- prefix from Selected Metric Prefixes.
Coulombic force. F ∝ q1q2/d2 is marked *qualitative analysis: there is no constant, so it is used to compare forces rather than calculate them. Larger charges mean a stronger attraction or repulsion; greater separation means a weaker one. It is the model behind periodic trends in HS-PS1-1 (a larger nuclear charge pulls harder on the outer electrons; a greater distance pulls less), the strength of electrical forces between particles in HS-PS1-3 and HS-PS2-6, and the interactions in HS-PS3-5.
