Homework Statement


3Cu(s) + 2NO3-(aq) + 8H+(aq) ⇔3Cu2+(aq) + 2NO(g) + 4H2O(l)
Kp and Kc relationship? does Kp exist?
or HCl(g)⇔H+(aq)+Cl-(aq)

Homework Equations


Law of mass action, Kp=Kc(RT)Δng

The Attempt at a Solution


In lots of places contradictory results are there, some say that in Kp , (not clearly signifying presence of liquid state) that just take gaseous moles, and in some, Kp doesn't exist..we know that solvent and solid state can be ignored in all K .. Does Kp exist for a reaction including a reactant/product in aqueous or liquid form? (im not asking about thermodynamical constant which is quite crystal clear in definition by acivity)

Can you write activities of reactants and products as functions of P (fugacity)?

if we assume ideal behaviour and remove concept of activity (by taking the measurement of species in bar and M) ..
a simple answer in yes or no would suffice... and 2nd part of question was whether Kc of Hcl reaction exists too
