What is the relation between kp and kc?

The relationship between Kp and Kc is Kp = Kc (RT)Δn

Derivation of Relation between Kp and Kc

For a general reaction aA + bB ⇌ cC + dD

Kc​ is an equilibrium constant denoted in terms of molar concentrations.

Kc ​= \({[C]^c[D]^d \over [A]^a[B]^b}\)​

Kp​ is an equilibrium constant denoted in terms of partial pressures. 

Kp​ = \((PC​)^c(PD​)^d​ \over (PA​)^a(PB​)^b\)

 P = \(nRt \over V\)= [Conc]RT

Kp​ = \({([C]RT)^c([D]RT)^d \over ([A]RT)^a([B]RT)^b} ​= Kc {(RT)^c(RT)^d​ \over ​(RT)^a(RT)^b}\)

Therefore, the relation between Kp and Kc is expressed as – 

Kp​ = Kc​RTΔn
