    For which of the following reaction, \[{{K}_{p}}\] is equal to \[{{K}_{c}}?\]

    A)  \[PC{{l}_{5}}(g)\rightleftharpoons PC{{l}_{3}}(g)+C{{l}_{2}}(g)\]

    B)  \[2S{{O}_{2}}(g)+{{O}_{2}}(g)\rightleftharpoons 2S{{O}_{3}}(g)\]

    C)  \[{{N}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}(g)\rightleftharpoons 2N{{O}_{2}}(g)\]

    D)  \[{{H}_{2}}(g)+{{I}_{2}}(g)\rightleftharpoons 2HI(g)\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{K}_{p}}={{K}_{c}}{{(RT)}^{\Delta {{n}_{g}}}}\] where, \[\Delta {{n}_{g}}=\] number of moles of gaseous products-number of moles of gaseous reactants. Hence, for \[{{K}_{p}}\] to be equal to \[{{K}_{c}},\]\[\Delta {{n}_{g}}\] should be zero. For the reaction, \[{{H}_{2}}(g)+{{I}_{2}}(g)\rightleftharpoons 2\,HI(g)\] \[\Delta {{n}_{g}}=2-2=0\] Hence,  \[{{K}_{p}}={{K}_{c}}\,.\,\,{{(RT)}^{0}}={{K}_{c}}\]
