Chemical equation
How are we supposed to make the chemical equation on our own when solving for concentration and down ice tables?

Re: Chemical equation
Some chemical equations will be given to us, but certain ones, like combustion, you should have memorized in order to make a chemical equation given the combustible material.

Re: Chemical equation
I think knowing the typical weak acid/weak base equilibrium equations are useful. As long as you know that HA + H20 => A- + H3O+ and A- + H2O => HA + OH- then you should be able to write the equations for a weak acid weak base problem.

Re: Chemical equation
The chemical equations are usually given to you, but you should definitely know equations between acids and their conjugate bases and bases and their conjugate acids.

Re: Chemical equation
In those instances in which you are not given a chemical equation, you need to use the context clues to generate an equation. Usually you will have to come up with the equations yourself only for Acid-Base equilibrium problems, in which the acid or base and water are almost always the reactants and their conjugate acid/conjugate base and hydronium/hydroxide are almost always the products.
