Re: Q and K
Yes Q is a constant for the reaction at a time not at equilibrium which is compared to k in order to see which direction the reaction is shifting towards.

Re: ice tables
I make sure to double check the coefficients so I dont mess up the change expressions. I also check to see which way the reaction is shifted towards so I know which concentrations are decreasing and increasing.

Re: Sapling Week 1 #3
I used an ICE table to solve this question. You know the initial concentrations by dividing moles/Liters and you have the coefficients which will give u the change. Then you can set up an expression that you can set equal to Kc which is [HI]^2/[H2][I2]

If inert gases were in the reaction, then the reaction will not shift right or left. it will only shift if the pressure change is due to a change in volume.

Re: Amphoteric: acid and/or base
for a molecule to be amphoteric it needs to be able to act as a base or a acid so it needs to be a proton acceptor or a proton donor depending on what it reacts with. water is a good example as it can donate a hydrogen atom to become a hydroxide ion or accept an electron to become a hydronium ion.
