Where ‘K’ is equilibrium constant

As stated above the active mass is expressed in terms of mole/ litre (for solutions) or
partial pressure (for gases). Similarly, equilibrium constant K is expressed as   for
solutions or gases, respectively.

For the above reaction, KP and KC are related as follows:

Since, PV = nRT

Let,

Where R = gas constant, T = absolute temperature and   = [No. of moles of products

- No. of moles of reactants].
