I understand that K will be dimensionless. Let's say an equilibrium involving Kp and the reaction is A⟶B, Kp will be dimensionless. If the reaction A+B⟶C, then based on the formula of Kp will be:
(partial pressure of C)[(partial pressure B)×(partial pressure of A)]
Since partial pressure can be in Pa, or bar/atm, with the difference between them will be roughly 100000 times. So the Kps will have 100000 difference. Putting the Kp into ΔG=−RTlnK, there will be a huge difference of ΔG. So what units of Kp should we use in this case?
