Kp?

[Christine Nguyen 3D]

I understand that you solve for Kp the same way you would solve for Kc, but does partial pressure only apply to gases?

[Minahil_Tufail_3I]

Yes, I believe partial pressure only applies to gases!

[Biona Hui 1G]

Yep, partial pressure, based on what we've learned, only applies to gases.

[605291562]

Yeah, I believe he said in lecture for the purpose of this class we only need to think of partial pressure applied to gasses

[Nathan Tong 3G]

Partial pressure is not typically used for the other phases.

[Rohit Srinivas 2D]

Yes, this is because ideal gasses assume that they do not interact with each other as their collisions are considered negligible. Hence, their partial pressures are calculated which is equal to their "concentration". Additionally, the units for Kp do not matter as they will cancel out if the equation is set up correctly.

[Bhuvan Kommineni 3L]

Partial pressure is only applicable to gases!

[305572629]

yes- in some tricky problems liquids and aqueous components may be included, but just emit them since partial pressure can only apply to gases.

[Arezo Ahmadi 3J]

Yes, as partial pressure can only be measured for gases. With Kc, you are looking at the concentrations of substances, in which case you would omit solids and liquids.

[Bai Rong Lin 2K]

I believe it is measured for gases.

[Lauren Mungo 1K]

yes, partial pressure applies to gases while molar concentrations applies to aqueous compounds

[Mansi Solanki 3A]

Yes, partial pressure applies to gases and can be used for the Kp value.

[Bella Bursulaya 3G]

Yep, only for gases because remember that solids and liquids cannot have partial pressures. Therefore, partial pressures only apply to gases.

[Carlos Martinez 2K]

yes, Kp would only apply to gasses. Also remember that Kc does not apply to pure liquids or solids.

[Jerry_T]

Partial pressure only applies to gases because you cannot change the pressure of liquids and solids significantly.

[Jaclyn Schwartz 1I]

Partial Pressures are only for gases in this course!

[Brandon Gruender 3F]

Yes, partial pressure only applies to gases.

[Giselle Granda 3F]

Yes, partial pressure only applies to gases, and when you set up your Kp expression, you use parentheses instead of brackets which are used for concentration. It shouldn't be a big deal however if you use brackets or parenthesis because it will not make a difference in your answer.

[Diana Aguilar 3H]

Yes, like many have stated, partial pressure only applies to gases!

[Jasmine Yi 1G]

Yes, Kp is for gases

[Yeonjoo Kim 2B]

Yes, partial pressure only applies to gases!

[AJForte-2C]

Partial pressure only applies to gases, so youll only solve for Kp when youre being asked about gases.

[AlbertGu_2C]

Kp is solved the same way as Kc is, except for partial pressures in place of concentrations

[Christine Nguyen 3D]

Yes, I believe partial pressure only applies to gases!

thank you :)

Thank you for the clarification! I oftentimes forget to replace the brackets with parentheses :)

[Christine Nguyen 3D]

Thank you so much, hopefully, there's nothing more to be learned for that haha :)

[Neel Sharma 3F]

Yes, partial pressures only apply to gases. I have noticed that K by itself indicated the equilibrium constant for gas reactions using bar as the standard measurement. Professor Lavelle allowed us to use atm interchangeably. Kc indicates concentration values using molarity. Hope this helps!

[Victor Qiu 1C]

Yes, partial pressure only applies to gases. Just imagine adding a solid, a liquid, and a gas into a closed box. The solid and liquid would just occupy some volume of that box, but the gas would occupied the entire volume of that box. Therefore, only the gas would have partial pressure.

[Vivian_Le_1L]

Yes, Kp only applies to partial pressure of gases, while Kc can have concentrations of both gases and aqueous solutions.

[ColmConnolly3D]

Just a quick note as to why:

For at the level of precision we will be dealing with solids and liquids are incompressible. Thus, a change in PRESSure cannot affect the concentration of such substances.

Hope this helps!
