ICE Tables:
Gateway Page

Welcome to the ICE Tables tutorial! This set of pages will introduce you to a very useful tool for solving many types of chemistry problems: the ICE table. After completing this tutorial, you should be able to use ICE tables to solve complicated stoichiometry and equilibrium problems.

The ICE Tables tutorial is divided into four parts. First is an introduction to ICE tables which explains their parts and how they are used. Second is a fully worked example showing how to use ICE tables to solve a stoichiometry problem. Third, ICE tables are set up somewhat differently in equilibrium problems, so another fully worked solution of an equilibrium problem is shown. Finally, several example problems for you to work are given.

To navigate between pages in a module, use the menu in the left-hand navigation bar. Home takes you back to the Tutorials homepage in WebCT. Table of Contents takes you to a list of all the pages in the Thermodynamics Tutorial so you can quickly return to any spot in any module you were at previously. The Thermodynamics Gateway Page link will return you to this page. The module links take you to the first page in the corresponding module.


There are some common icons you will see used over and over in this tutorial. These icons and what they mean are listed below.

Back button. Click here to go back to the previous page. Next button. Click here to go to the next page.
Page tracking icon. These icons tell you which page in the module you are on and how many pages there are in all in the module.
The mouse icon alerts you to an interactive element on the page that may require you to click somewhere, enter some information, or somehow interact with the page.
Occasionally in the modules you will need to apply something you have learned earlier in the course, perhaps in another tutorial. Clicking on the test tube icon (like the one at left) pops up an accessory window that reviews what you may have forgotten or need to review. Click on the test tube at left to see how this works. Don"t forget to close accessory windows when you are done with them!
