Detailed Solution

The expression relating Kp and Kc is Kp=Kc(RT)Δvg where  Δvg is the change in the stoichiometric numbers of gaseous species in the chemical equation when reactants are converted into products. For the given reaction, Δvg=+1 Hence

(RT)Δvg=8.314 J K-1 mol-1 (457 K)=3799.5 J mol-1

Since Kp=Kc3799.5 J mol-1 it follows that Kp>KC
