K

[jordanginyard_]

What is the relationship between Kc and K ?

[Minahil_Tufail_3I]

Kc just refers specifically to the equilibrium constant for molar concentrations. K is the equilibrium constant, and sometimes it's specified as Kp with equilibrium constant using partial pressures.

[Aanya Tanti 3C]

Kc is specific to molar concentrations at equilibrium while K is a more general equilibrium constant (could be molar concentrations or partial pressure).

[jasmineculilap_3F]

Kc is the equilibrium constant for molar concentrations while K is the general equilibrium constant.

[Bai Rong Lin 2K]

Kc is the constant for molar concentration.

[Mansi Solanki 3A]

Kc specifies that it is referring to the equilibrium constant using molar concentrations while K is the equilibrium constant in general, meaning that it could be either Kc or Kp.

[Mina Tadros 3L]

Kc is the equilibrium constant for molar concentrations, whereas K is a more general equilibrium constant.

[Emily Tieu 2K]

Kc specifically represents concentrations that are used to calculate the equilibrium constant K. You can calculate Kc by dividing the concentrations of products over reactants. On the other hand, K is a general term for when a reaction is at equilibrium and can be represented through concentrations (Kc), acid strength (Ka), partial pressure (Kp) etc.

[Christine Ma 3L]

K, or K_eq, is the general equilibrium reactant, and the other subscripts of K are just used to denote specific types of equilibrium constants and/or reaction types.
K_c is one type of equilibrium constant that is calculated using the concentrations of the products and reactants (c stands for concentration).
Other equilibrium constants include K_p (equilibrium constant solved for by using partial pressures), K_sp (equilibrium constant for a solid dissolving into aqueous solution), K_a (equilibrium constant for the dissociation of an acid), and K_b (equilibrium constant for the dissociation of a base). Hope this helps!

[Madison Wong 3H]

Kc is the molar equilibrium constant, and Kp is the pressure equilibrium constant. The way of finding both is the same, with products over reactants taking into account coefficients.

[Luveia Pangilinan 1A]

K is more generalized as the equilibrium constant but other K’s such as Kc is more specific towards a type of equilibrium constant! :)

[Aria Movassaghi 1A]

Kc is the constant for molar concentrations.

[Jaclyn Schwartz 1I]

Kc is a more specific version of K. K is an equilibrium constant. Kc is the equilibrium constant for molar concentrations. Kp is equilibrium constant for pressure.

[Charlotte Chen 3B]

I think K is a more generalized expression that could either be referring to Kc or Kp depending on the context of the question

[Geethika Janga 1L]

Kc simply represents the constant for the molar concentrations while K is the equilibrium concentration.

[Michael Cardenas 3B]

K is the equilibrium constant while Kp and Kc specify whether it is for concentration or partial pressure.

[Jose Miguel Conste 3H]

K is literally just a constant, and the lower cased letter just tells you whether its related to pressure, concentration ,etc.

[Jose Miguel Conste 3H]

K is literally just a constant, and the lower cased letter just tells you whether its related to pressure, concentration ,etc.

[Eileen Quach Dis 2A]

They're the same thing. K is the equilibrium constant, and the c just specifies that it's calculated from the concentrations rather than the partial pressure (for gases).

[Susan Chamling 1F]

K is the equilibrium constant and the subscript just clarifies whether it's from concentrations or partial pressures.

[Gabriel Nitro 1E]

Hi,

K_c is typically referred to the equilibrium constant in terms of concentrations. However, K is a more general form of the equilibrium constant that may be adapted to multiple situations (such as K_p in terms of partial pressures).

Hope this helps! :)

[sophie esherick 3H]

K, or Keq, is the general equilibrium constant. K can be represented as partial pressures (Kp), concentrations (Kc), eq. constant for dissociation of an acid (Ka), eq. constant for dissociation of base (Kb), etc. Kc is specifically the type of equilibrium constant calculated using the concentrations of the products and reactants (c stands for concentration). This means Kc is K when it is represented in terms of concentration. I hope this helps!

[Hope Fan 2A]

K is the generalized expression of the products over the reactants all raised to their respective stoichiometric coefficients. K_c specifies that we are using the concentration of the products and reactants in the expression for K.

[Kathy_Li_1H]

Hi! K is the equilibrium constant and is the broader/umbrella term for the equilibrium constant. Kc is the equilibrium constant that is calculated with molar concentrations.

[Rose_Malki_3G]

Kc is the K value but when using concentrations to determine it. Both are equilibrium constants

[Edwin Liang 1I]

K is a variable that represents the equilibrium constant, but Kc is specifically the equilibrium constant in concentrations.

[Brian Acevedo 2E]

K is the broader and more commonly used form of the variable known as the equilibrium constant of a reaction. K_c is used to describe this constant with respect to molar concentration of the involved species, whereas K_p does the same with respect to partial pressures.

[Lauren Mungo 1K]

K just represents the equilibrium constant while Kc indicates that concentrations, as opposed to partial pressures, are used.

[Juwan_Madaki_3K]

K and Kc are calculated the same way and are sometimes used interchangeably. However, Kc specifically refers to molar concentrations.

[Jacob Schwarz-Discussion 3I]

Kc is the same exact thing as K it is just used for molar concentrations. Similarly, Kp is used for partial pressure.

[Ashley Wagner 2A]

K and Kc are the same thing. However Kc is used for molar concentrations.

[kentbui1d]

Kc is the equilibrium constant of the concentrations.

[FrancescaHawkins2H]

K is just the general term for the equilibrium constant. If you want to be more specific you can use Kc to denote that you got this value through calculations involving concentrations. Alternately, if the K value is calculated using partial pressures, you would denote that by using Kp. Hope that helps!

[Naomi Hernandez-Ramirez 1J]

Kc and K are calculate & are the same thing K it is just used for molar concentrations while Kp is used for partial pressure
