Because in comparison to the gases present they have insignificant volume. The basis of the equation for Kcis the molar volume concentration. For solids or

liquids, this will be very close to zero, so it is not included.

Are solids included in the equilibrium constant calculation?

Yes, solids are included in the equilibrium constant calculation if they are part of the balanced chemical equation.


Which species are left out from the Keq expression?

The substances left out from the equilibrium constant expression (Keq) are usually pure solids, pure liquids, and solvents. These do not affect the equilibrium position because their concentrations remain constant. Only species that are present in aqueous or gaseous form and participate in the reaction are included in the Keq expression.


Why don't solids and liquids affect equilibrium in a chemical reaction?

Solids and liquids do not affect equilibrium in a chemical reaction because their concentrations remain constant during the reaction. This is because the amount of solid or liquid present does not change as the reaction progresses, so they do not impact the equilibrium concentrations of the reactants and products. Only the concentrations of gases and aqueous solutions can affect the equilibrium of a chemical reaction.

Solids and liquids are excluded from equilibrium expressions because?

They are just the medium in which the equilibrium takes place. It could be similar to boys and girls dating in a disco. The boys and girls (ions) interaction is different to the disco (liquid) that is allowing the interaction to take place, but is not interfering with it.
