if there is an E symbol with a slash through it on an ICE chart what does it stand for?
Electrons
Electrons have negative charge
could you explain how i would use that in the chart? like if i have HNO2 for example?
ok so for the reaction HNO2(aq)+H20(l) --> H3O=(aq) + No2-(aq)
initial- 0
change - 1
Eqil - 1
I don't understand what u mean with the chart but HNO2= 1 hydrogen atom 1 nitrogen atom and 2 oxygen atoms oh and electrons are the opposite of protons u can't place them with symbols like HNO2
U mean for the equation?
For an equation u can place electrons e-
This is the chart i filled it out but then i noticed the e thing it looks like this
HNO2 E H3O+ NO2-
Inital 0.045 0 0
Change 0.0043 0.0043 0.0043
Equl 0.0407 0.0043 0.0043
hopefully you can ge the jist of that as it didn't post how i write it out
The symbol "E" with a slash through it on an ICE chart typically stands for the "Equilibrium Concentration" of a species in a chemical reaction. An ICE chart, short for Initial-Change-Equilibrium chart, is a tool used to solve equilibrium problems in chemistry.
To understand the meaning of the symbol, let's break down an ICE chart:
1. "I" stands for "Initial" and represents the initial concentrations of the species involved in the reaction. These initial concentrations are usually given in the problem statement.
2. "C" stands for "Change" and represents the change in concentrations of the species during the reaction. This reflects the reactants being consumed and the products being formed. The magnitudes of these changes depend on the stoichiometry of the reaction and can be determined by examining the balanced equation.
3. "E" stands for "Equilibrium" and represents the concentrations of the species at equilibrium. These concentrations are variables that we need to calculate.
The symbol "E" with a slash through it is used to denote that the concentration is set at equilibrium. In other words, it represents the value that needs to be solved for in order to find the equilibrium concentrations.
To determine the equilibrium concentration, you need to use the information given in the problem statement, such as initial concentrations, equilibrium constants, and stoichiometry of the reaction. By applying the principles of chemical equilibrium and using the ICE chart, you can set up an algebraic expression or equilibrium expression to solve for the value represented by the symbol "E" with a slash through it.
It's important to note that the specific meaning of symbols on an ICE chart may vary depending on the context and notation used by your instructor or textbook. Always refer to your course materials or consult your teacher for the precise meaning of symbols in a particular problem.
