If more than one phase is present in the reversible reaction then it is said to be heterogenous system.
Example: `CaO(s)+CO_(2)(g)` Expression of equilibrium constant for the above reaction can be taken as :
`K=([CaO(s)][CO_(2)(g)])/([CaO(s)])`." ".....(i)
Now concentration of `CaO(s)=[CaO(s)]`
`=("moles of CaO")/("volume of CaO")`
as density of `CaO[rho_(CaO(s))]` and molar mass of `CaO[M_(CaO(s))]`are a fixed quantity therefore concentration of pure solid and liquid term is uncharge with respect to time. Hence, equilibrium constant for the equation (i) can be written as :
`K_(C)=[CO_(2)(g))]`
`K_(P)=P_(CO_2)`
As `K_(p) and K_(c)` is not containing solid terms therefore, addition or removel of pure solid and pure liquid has no effect on the equilibrium process.
`K_(p)` for the reaction `NH_(4)I(s)hArrNH_(3)(g)+HI(g)`is `1//4 at 300K`.If above equilibrium is established by taking 4 moles of `NH_(4)I(s)` in 100 litre contanier, then moles of `NH_(4)I(s)` left in the container at equilibrium is `["Taken R=1/12Lt.atm mol"^(-1)K^(-1)]`.
