kp=kc(RT)delta-n .then how kp=Pco2 IN HETROGE. EQu?
As i know kc=[co2(g)] & where is delta-n goes?
Dear Student,
In the given reaction,
CaCO3(s )→ CaO(s) + CO2(g)
Kc is expressed as :
As CaO and CaCO3 are pure solids, [CaO] and [CaCO3] are constants.
Now,
Here ∆ n= 1 (Since, CaO and CaCO3 are in solid state)
Kp= Kc (RT)Δn
Or, Kp= pCO2 (PV = nRT or, P= nRT/v = CRT)
Hope it is clear to you.
Best Wishes!
