In the Reaction, Initial, Change, Equilibrium (RICE) table started for calculating equilibrium concentrations of the reaction shown, the terms in the "change" row are ________

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The change row in the RICE table indicates the change in concentration of the reactants and products from the initial state to the equilibrium state. The change in concentration for the reactant (F1F1F1S1) is -F1F1F10x because it is being consumed, and the change in concentration for the product (F1F1F1S1F1F1F10) is +F1F1F10x because it is being produced. The other two species in the reaction (F1F1F1S1− and F1F1F1S1+) are not involved in the reaction itself and therefore do not change. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
