### ICE table

How do you solve for Ka when given a change in concentration?

You solve for Ka by setting up the equation for the equilibrium constant and pugging in the given values at equilibrium or substitute these values using X or a variation of that. Then you use algebra to solve for Ka.

Ka is [A-][H+]/[HA], so if you have the initial concentration of HA you'll be able to calculate the concentration of hydrogen ions.

### Re: ICE table

You create an ICE table subtracting x from the initial concentrations of your reactants and adding x to products. You also multiply x by stoichiometric coefficients.

You set up your ice table to then be able to get your equilibrium constants. After that, you use the equation we have learned which is reactants/products.

Set up and ICE table with initial, change, and equilibrium and use x to represent an unknown change.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but when/why do we use ICE table?

We use an ICE table when we are given the initial concentration and want to determine the final concentration values after equilibrium is reached.
