Kc vs Kp
Is Kc only for aqueous solutions while Kp is for gases because there was a question in the lecture where it had gases but was still using Kc?

Re: Kc vs Kp
Kc is defined by molar concentrations while Kp is defined by the partial pressures of the gasses.

Re: Kc vs Kp
Yes, they are both calculated the same way, and the states of the reactants and products will identify whether to use Kc or Kp.

Re: Kc vs Kp
Also, when answering, make sure each concentration is in brackets while pressure will be in parenthesis.
Re: Kc vs Kp
If given partial pressures we calculate Kp, but if concentrations are given we calculate Kc.

Re: Kc vs Kp
Kc = Concentrions Kp = Partial Pressures. If given partial pressures use Kp and vice versa. This will tell you state of materials
