Why don't you have to convert pressure into concentration when doing lnQ?
How can you have a Q value that contains both pressure and concentration?. I've been converting the pressures to concentrations this whole time Bc I thought you had to make it uniform , and didn't know why I was getting it wrong until someone sent me their solutions manual.

Unless it specifically asks for Qp or Qc, I don't think you need to convert anything. And typically you're going to be given partial pressures for gases and concentrations for aqueous solutions, which I believe was the case in the problem you provided as an example.

I believe it was mentioned in our discussion section that the ratios are going to be the same (although I could be wrong on this)

Right but you can convert partial pressure into concentration by using pv=nRT. But I guess you don't have to
