### Determining the Acid Ionization Constant (Ka)

**Objective:**  
Determine the \( K_a \) for an acid by constructing an ICE table and using this information to construct and solve the equilibrium constant expression.

**Instructions:**
Complete Parts 1-2 before submitting your answer.

**Problem Statement:**

The pH for a 0.0850 M solution of \( \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CH}_2\text{COOH} \) is 2.68. Fill in the ICE table with the appropriate value for each involved species to determine the unknown concentrations of all reactants and products.

---

**Chemical Equation:**

\[
\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CH}_2\text{COOH (aq)} + \text{H}_2\text{O (l)} \rightleftharpoons \text{H}_3\text{O}^+\text{ (aq)} + \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CH}_2\text{COO}^-\text{ (aq)}
\]

---

**ICE Table:**

\[
\begin{array}{c|c|c|c}
 & \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CH}_2\text{COOH (aq)} & \text{H}_3\text{O}^+\text{ (aq)} & \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CH}_2\text{COO}^-\text{ (aq)} \\
\hline
\text{Initial (M)} & \text{\_\_\_\_} & \text{\_\_\_\_} & \text{\_\_\_\_} \\
\text{Change (M)} & \text{\_\_\_\_} & \text{\_\_\_\_} & \text{\_\_\_\_} \\
\text{Equilibrium (M)} & \text{\_\_\_\_} & \text{\_\_\_\_} & \text{\_\_\_\_} \\
\end{array}
\]
