Kp given instead of Kc
If Kp is given rather than Kc in a problem but the product is given in moles or grams rather than bars, how do you proceed with the problem? how can you convert to pressure?

Re: Kp given instead of Kc
Given moles or grams, use the Ideal Gas law (PV=nRT) to pressure. Once converted, you can calculate using Kp.
Re: Kp given instead of Kc
If you are given moles or grams, you can first convert into molarity, and from there you can use the equation, P=(n/v)RT to find the partial pressure of each gas in the reaction. Then, these numbers can be used to calculate Kp.

in order to convert pressure into moles, you would use the ideal gas law (PV=nRT)

First, if given grams, then convert it to moles. Afterwards, input what you have as moles in the ideal gas law equation but rearrange it to get P alone.

Re: Kp given instead of Kc
Use PV=nRT to convert moles to pressure. Moles is represented by n and pressure is represented by P.
