Calculating Kp
Can you calculate Kp if you are not given the individual partial pressures? ICE table is only for concentration right?

Re: Calculating Kp
ICE tables can be used for partial pressures as well. Given you have enough information, you can use an ICE table to find the equilibrium partial pressures and therefore Kp.

Re: Calculating Kp
You can use an ice table with partial pressures too. You use them just as you would use concentrations. But if you are only given concentrations then you can still convert those into pressure by using PV=nRT.
concentration is n/V, so rearrange the eqtn to get n/V= P/RT. if you have P and T then just plug in to find concentration.

Re: Calculating Kp
You can calculate Kp from Kc by using Pv=nRT if given concentrations and enough info. ICE tables are also used for partial pressures as well, though.

Re: Calculating Kp
You can calculate Kp using the equilibrium partial pressures or by using the Kc. To convert from Kc to Kp you would use the ideal gas law equation.

Re: Calculating Kp
Partial pressures of a gas are also considered concentrations of the gas. ICE tables can be used for both molar concentrations and partial pressure.

Re: Calculating Kp
I'm pretty sure you can use partial pressures as well as concentration because partial pressures is based on the similar idea as concentration
