K p = K c ( RT )Δ n Δ n = moles of gaseous product - moles of gaseous reactant

Q. Assertion : $K_{p}$ can be less than, greater than or equal to $K_{c}$
Reason : Relation between $K_{p}$ and $K_{c}$ depends on the change in number of moles of gaseous reactants and products $(Δ n)$ .

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

If assertion is true but reason is false

If both assertion and reason are false

$K_{p} = K_{c} (RT)^{Δ n}$
$Δ n =$ moles of gaseous product $-$ moles of gaseous reactant

Q. Assertion : Kp​ can be less than, greater than or equal to Kc​ Reason : Relation between Kp​ and Kc​ depends on the change in number of moles of gaseous reactants and products (Δn).
