ICE table

[Brandon Li]

When do you need to do an ICE table? Would it be for every time the question talks about an equation reaching equilibrium?

When working with reactions that reach equilibrium, you usually need to use an ICE table, particularly if you are asked to determine the equilibrium concentrations or are given the initial concentrations of the reactants and products. However, not all equilibrium problems require the usage of an ICE table. You might not need to put up an ICE table if the problem is simple enough that you can solve it directly using the information provided and the concepts of chemical equilibrium.

Hi! you do not need to use an ice table every time an equation talks about equilibrium but rather when you are trying to find the conc of certain reactants/products when you are given the k.
