Q.In which of the following equilibria are KPK_P and KCK_C not equal?

(a) 2NO(g)⇌N2(g)+O2(g)2NO(g) \rightleftharpoons N_2(g) + O_2(g)
(b) SO2(g)+NO2(g)⇌SO3(g)+NO(g)SO_2(g) + NO_2(g) \rightleftharpoons SO_3(g) + NO(g)
(c) H2(g)+I2(g)⇌2HI(g)H_2(g) + I_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2HI(g)
(d) PCl5(g)⇌PCl3(g)+Cl2(g)PCl_5(g) \rightleftharpoons PCl_3(g) + Cl_2(g)

Step 1. Kp = Kc only when Δng = 0 (equal total moles of gas on both sides).

Step 2. Check each: (a) 2NO⇌N2+O22NO\rightleftharpoons N_2+O_2: 2 mol gas both sides, Δng=0.

(b) SO2+NO2⇌SO3+NOSO_2+NO_2\rightleftharpoons SO_3+NO: 2 mol gas both sides, Δng=0.

(c) H2+I2⇌2HIH_2+I_2\rightleftharpoons2HI: 2 mol gas both sides, Δng=0. …
