ICE table

Postby Diana Alvarez 3A » Thu Mar 14, 2024 10:26 pm

Let's say we have a reaction A+2B = 3C+4D. What would the "change" part of the ICE box look like if a reaction had TWO aqueous reactants? For A = B, I know that the "change" part would be -x and x, but I'm not sure how it would change if there were two reactants.

I am not sure I completely understand your question. Are you referring to the coefficients in the equation? If so, then the changes would reflect the coefficients in front of the reactants. For example since there is only one mol of A the change would be -x. Since there are two moles of B in the reaction, the change in B would be -2x. Sorry if I misinterpreted your question, feel free to correct me!

That's exactly what I meant! Thank you so much!
