    The reaction A(g)⇌B(g)+C(g)A(g) \rightleftharpoons B(g) + C(g) was initiated with the amount ' a ' of A(g)A(g). At equilibrium it is found that the amount of A(g)A(g) remaining is (a−x)(a - x) at a total pressure of p. The equilibrium constant KpK_{p} of the reaction can be calculated from the expression :
