  • Partial pressure = Total pressure * mole fraction
  • Mole fraction = Number of moles of species A / Total number of moles of all gas species
  • For reaction containing gas, its difficult to measure concentration of a gas. Instead the quantity of each gas in an equilibrium mixture is partial pressure
  • aA(g) + bB(g) ⇌ cC(g) =dD(g)
    Kp = P(C)^c * P(D)^d / P(A)^a * P(B)^b
    P(C) is the partial pressure of species C
    Its not square brackets because its not concentrations
  • Temperature affects Kp but pressure and catalyst doesn't affect Kp
