ICE tables - Acids and Bases

[nithika karthikeyan 3H]

Wht are ICE tables not used for strong acids and strong bases, but only for weak acids and weak bases?

[Hanadi Kamal 1J]

This is because they completely dissolve. For example HCl will dissociate to become H+ and Cl-. Weak acids and weak bases tend to stay together for the most part meaning they will require an ice box because not all of it will dissociate.

[Ishan M 2G]

ICE tables are for when acids or bases do not completely dissociate. For strong acids and strong bases, they completely dissociate and do not require the calculation of varied [H+] concentrations, rather they are the same concentration as the strong acid.
