units

[Madelyn Cearlock]

I got marked down for putting "bar" in my K value on the midterm. Does anyone know why this is?

[Ashley Kim]

K is a ratio, so it has no units.

[Nicolette_Canlian_2L]

You would only use bar if the question were to ask, for example, the pressure of the gas at equilibrium.

[Selina Bellin 2B]

K is unitless

[Jeannine 1I]

Remember that K is a constant, and therefore has no units(:

[Vy Lu 2B]

K should not have any units since it is a ratio of concentrations/partial pressures.

[Casandra]

K doesn't have any units, due to it being a ratio (in which the units cancel)

[Desiree1G]

Yes remember K does not have a unit because it is a ration and I believe those units cancel out.

[LeannaPhan14BDis1D]

I did it too and the people above say it's bc k doesn't have units

[Celio_G_Dis2C]

K is unit less because all units should cancel each other out

[Pritish Patil 1K]

K does not have units, which is why points were probably taken off for writing bar after k. The units should cancel each other out as well.

[Lauren Huang 1H]

Although the products and reactants involved in Kp and Kc use units such as molarity and bar, the units cancel out in the end so K is unitless.

[Aleeque Marselian 1A]

The equilibrium value, K, is a ration of products to reactants, so mathematically the units should cancel out and the calculation would not have units.

[RachelCheung1A]

The units in K should cancel out so there shouldn't be any units for K.

[jocelyntzeng]

K is unitless

[Jacqueline Duong 1H]

it's because there shouldn't be any units for K
