Explain why pure liquids and solids can be ignored while writing the equilibrium constant expression?
Concentration of solid or pure liquid,
[substance] =
=
=
Since density and molar mass doesn’t vary, concentration of the substance remains constant.
Pure liquids and solid have a constant concentration. Composition of solids remain same throughout a reaction even though amount may change.
Similarly, pure liquids have same composition (since it has only one substance)
