Chapter 15, Problem 15.34QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reactions in which the value of $K_{\text{c}}$ and $K_{\text{p}}$ are different are to be identified.

Concept introduction: $K_{\text{p}}$ is defined as the equilibrium constant in a reaction. It is equal to the ratio of the partial pressures of the products and that of reactants raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficients.

$K_c$ is defined as the equilibrium constant in a reaction expressed in terms of molar concentrations of reactants and products. It is equal to the ratio of the concentration of the products and reactants raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficients.

To determine: If the values of $K_{\text{c}}$ and $K_{\text{p}}$ are different for the given reaction.

(b)

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: If the values of $K_{\text{c}}$ and $K_{\text{p}}$ are different for the given reaction.
