Kp

[LeAirraBullingor2k]

Is Kp only used when dealing with gases?

[Sidharth D 1E]

K_p is meant to be used when dealing with the partial pressures of various gases, and K_c is meant to be used for concentrations.

[Vincent Leong 2B]

Yes, Kp is only used with gases

[Jesalynne 2F]

K_p is used when dealing with gases, it is the equilibrium constant calculated from the partial pressures.

[Jack Riley 4f]

K is the general equilibrium constant while Kp refers to the equilibrium constant when using partial pressures.

[gconcha]

K_P is used to deal with the partial pressures of an equation at equilibrium, (P=Pressure). Since, as explained in lecture, you can't compress solids and it takes an absurd amount of energy to compress liquids a small amount, their affect on the pressure of a reaction container are taken to be negligible. Therefore, you should use K_P only with gases.

Kp is only used for gases, while Kc is used for concentrations. If needed, you can convert individual species from concentration to atm through PV=nRT
