Question

In chemical equilibrium, the value of $\Delta n$ is negative, then the relationship between $K_p$ and $K_c$ will be

A

$K_p = K_c$

B

$K_p < K_c$

C

$K_p > K_c$

D

none of these.

Answer

$K_p < K_c$

Explanation

Solution

$K_p = K_c (RT)^{(\Delta n)}$
When $\Delta n = {-ve\, or} \Delta n < 0$ ,
$K_p < K_c$
