Consider the following chemical equilibrium: +N2g3H2g ⇌ 2NH3g Now write an equation below that shows how to calculate Kp from Kc for this reaction at an absolute temperature T. You can assume T is comfortably above room temperature. If you include any common physical constants in your equation be sure you use their standard symbols, found in the ALEKS Calculator.

Answer:
Kp = Kc (RT) ^(-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
For the reaction;
N2 (g) + 3H2 ⇄ 2NH3(g)
We can write;
Kc = [NH3]^2/[N2] [H2]^3
But
Kp = pNH3^2/pN2 . PH2^3
To convert from Kc to Kp
Kp = Kc (RT) ^Δn
where Δn is the change in number of moles going from reactants
to products.
For this reaction;
Δn = 2- (3+1) = -2
Kp = Kc (RT) ^(-2)
