What is the value of " X " from the "ICE" table?

Transcript text: The reaction proceeds toward the products. Complete the ICE table below to find " X ". \[ \begin{array}{l} \mathrm{R} 2 \mathrm{NO}(\mathrm{~g}) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{N}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \\ 12.0 \\ \text { C } \\ \text { E } \end{array} \] What is the value of " X " from the "ICE" table?

Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding the ICE Table

The ICE table is used to track the Initial concentrations, the Change in concentrations, and the Equilibrium concentrations of reactants and products in a chemical reaction. The reaction given is:

\[ 2 \mathrm{NO}(\mathrm{~g}) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{N}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) + \mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \]

Step 2: Setting Up the ICE Table

We need to fill in the ICE table with the given information and determine the value of \( X \). The table is structured as follows:

\[ \begin{array}{c|c|c|c} & \mathrm{NO}(\mathrm{~g}) & \mathrm{N}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) & \mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \\ \hline \text{Initial (I)} & 12.0 & 0 & 0 \\ \text{Change (C)} & -2X & +X & +X \\ \text{Equilibrium (E)} & 12.0 - 2X & X & X \\ \end{array} \]

Step 3: Solving for \( X \)

To find \( X \), we need additional information such as the equilibrium constant \( K \) or the equilibrium concentrations of the products. However, since the problem does not provide this information, we assume that the reaction proceeds to some extent and we are to find the expression for \( X \).
