Which is the correct equilibrium constant expression for the following reaction?
2 KClO3(s) ⇌ 2 KCl(s) + 3 O2(g)
| A. | Kc = [KCl]2 [O2]3 / [KClO3]2 | 
| B. | Kc = [O2]3 | 
| C. | Kc = [O2] | 
| D. | Kc = [KCl] | 
| E. | Kc = [KCl] [O2] / [KClO3] | 
For a general reaction


Generally we take the concentration term of components in solid state to be zero.
So here only O2 contributes to Kc.
The answer is (B).
