ICE Table vs Henderson Hasselbach
How can we determine when to use an ICE table versus the henderson-hasselbach equation, specifically for buffer solutions?

As stated at: https://lavelle.chem.ucla.edu/wp-conten ... ns_etc.pdf
"WE ARE NOT USING THE HENDERSON-HASSELBALCH EQUATION IN CHEM 14B."
"SETTING UP AN EQUILIBRIUM TABLE AND EXPLICITELY SOLVING FOR X (AS WE DO IN CHEM 14B)"
I would have covered the Henderson Hasselbach equation in class and assigned problems in the Syllabus using it.
To solve these problems, use an ICE table and solve for x:
• Calculate the pH of salt solutions. E.g. Salt formed at the stoichiometric point in a titration.
• Calculate the pH of a weak acid and its salt (this is how acidic buffers are made).
• Calculate the pH of a weak base and its salt (this is how basic buffers are made).
The above is from Outline 2: https://lavelle.chem.ucla.edu/wp-conten ... _Bases.pdf
