Expert Solution
Introduction

The equilibrium constant of a chemical reaction is the value of its reaction quotient at chemical equilibrium, a condition reached by a complex chemical system after ample time has passed at which its structure has no observable propensity for further shift. Kc and Kp are the equilibrium constants in gaseous mixtures. However, the distinction between the two constants is that Kc is determined by molar concentrations, while Kp is defined by the partial pressures of the gases within a closed structure.
