The correct Answer is:
To determine the condition under which \( K_p = K_c \) for a homogeneous chemical reaction, we need to understand the relationship between these two equilibrium constants. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Equilibrium Constants**: - \( K_p \) is the equilibrium constant expressed in terms of partial pressures of the gases involved in the reaction. - \( K_c \) is the equilibrium constant expressed in terms of the concentrations of the reactants and products. 2. **Relationship Between \( K_p \) and \( K_c \)**: - The relationship between \( K_p \) and \( K_c \) is given by the equation: \[ K_p = K_c (RT)^{\Delta n} \] - Here, \( R \) is the universal gas constant, \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin, and \( \Delta n \) is the change in the number of moles of gas, calculated as: \[ \Delta n = \text{moles of gaseous products} - \text{moles of gaseous reactants} \] 3. **Condition for \( K_p = K_c \)**: - For \( K_p \) to equal \( K_c \), the term \( (RT)^{\Delta n} \) must equal 1. - This occurs when \( \Delta n = 0 \) because any number raised to the power of 0 is 1. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, \( K_p = K_c \) when \( \Delta n = 0 \), which means that the number of moles of gaseous products is equal to the number of moles of gaseous reactants. ### Final Answer: For a homogeneous chemical reaction, \( K_p = K_c \) when \( \Delta n = 0 \). ---
