Re: Units of Kp
Partial pressure can be measured in any normal pressure units. Most commonly this will be in atm or pascals.

Re: Units of Kp
The partial pressure can be in any units, but remember to use the same units for all of your gases. Also, the Kp value itself will change based on what units you use for the partial pressure of the gases. Its important to use the appropriate kp value in your calculations (based on what units the problem gives you).

Re: Units of Kp
Kp is usually atm or bar, but make sure you use the same units for all the gases in the problem.

Re: Units of Kp
The units of the partial pressures of the gasses in Kp can be in bars or atm. However, it is important to remember that Kp as a whole does not have any units.

Re: Units of Kp
The partial pressures of the gases will be in atm or bar, but the Kp will not have units, as it is the equilibrium constant.
