Question

For a gaseous homogeneous reaction at equilibrium number of moles
of product are greater than the number of moles of reactants is kc
is larger or smaller than kp

Dear Student,

For a gaseous homogeneous reaction at equilibrium Kp and Kc are
related as
Kp = Kc
(RT)Δn
where R is universal gas constant
T is Absolute temperature
Δn is number of moles in products - number
of moles in reactants

Given, number of moles in products > number of moles in
reactants
So, Δn is positive,
Hence Kp > Kc
(or) Kc is smaller than Kp
