Table 5G.2 in Textbook
In Table 5G.2 in the textbook, there are values for K and Kc (with a plus next to it). What is the difference between them and why are the values different for some temperatures?

I'm not too sure about K and Kc but the Kc values at different temperatures because we learned in class that temperature can impact the value of K

Hi! K is the equilibrium constant when using partial pressures. In this table, all the equations are solely gases, so the usual way to calculate K would be to use the partial pressures. Kc is the equilibrium constant when using concentrations, which is more of what we did in class.

HI! In this case, "K" is the equilibrium constant, but "Kc" is the equilibrium constant using concentrations.
