Kc and Equilibrium Problems (4 types)
CAN YOU? / HAVE YOU? • Make equilibrium constant (K) calculations with various missing values. • Use ICE tables to successfully complete Equilibrium calculations. *Always make sure the equation is balanced, FIRST*
1. Plug and solve

Change all into concentrations - mol/L 0.040 mol N2 = 0.020 M N2 2.0 L = 0.075 M H2 = 0.25 M NH3 2. Write the equilibrium law for the reaction
3. Substitute the concentrations and calculate K. (Note: no units for K)
