At the top of the table goes the balanced chemical equation for the chemical reaction being studied. Each reactant or product has a column in the table.
The first row in the table is the I or Initial conditions. Each cell entry in the I row represents an initial amount (moles, concentration, or pressure) of a reactant or product.
The second row in the table is the C or Change in conditions row. Each cell entry in the C row represents the change in the amount of a reactant or product. Each cell entry should have a sign (+ or -) to represent whether the substance increases or decreases in amount.
The final row is the E or Ending amount. Each entry in the E row is the sum of the amounts entered above it in the I and C rows.
