MCQs on Kp And Kc Relationship And Characteristics Of K for NEET 2023

The equilibrium constant principle is valid only at the equilibrium condition. Equilibrium constant values are frequently quoted without units. This usually does not create any problem, since in most problems the units of K do not enter into the calculation directly. However, it must be specified whether the equilibrium constant is Kc or Kp. The equilibrium constant of a reaction varies with temperature but, at any particular temperature, it must be a constant independent of concentration or pressure at all concentrations. The equilibrium constant quantitatively indicates the effect of concentrations of reactants and products on the extent of reaction.

1. What will be the value of Kp if the Kc is 26 for a reaction, PCl₅ ⇌ PCl₃ + Cl₂ at 25o°?
