Question

What is the relation between Kp and K?

(a) Kp=K(RT)^Δn

(b) Kp=K-(RT)^Δn

(c) Kp=K+(RT)^Δn

(d) Kp=K/(RT)^Δn

The question was asked during a job interview.

Question is taken from Equilibrium Concentration Relationship topic in chapter Contact Equilibrium Separation Process of Food Processing Unit Operations

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) Kp=K(RT)^Δn

Best explanation: The relation between Kp and K  is Kp=K(RT)^Δn. An equilibrated system that contains products and reactants in a single phase is a homogeneous equilibrium where as a system whose reactants, products are in more than one phase, it is called as heterogeneous equilibrium.
