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.
`200g of CaCO_(3)(g)` taken in 4Ltr container at a certain temperature. `K_(c)` for the dissociation of `CaCO_(3)` at this temperature is found to be `1//4` mole `Ltr^(-1)`then the concentration of CaO in mole/litre is :
[Given :`rho_(CaO)=1.12gcm^(-3)][Ca=40,O=16]`
