Explanation:
Chemical Equilibrium is a state in which the rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of backward reaction. At equilibrium, the concentration of reactants and products remain constant.
Kc and Kp are equilibrium constants used to determine the concentration or partial pressure of reactants and products at equilibrium.
Kc - Equilibrium constant in terms of concentration
Kp - Equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure
When does Kc = Kp?
Kc and Kp are related by the following equation:
Kp = Kc (RT)^(Δn)
where R is the gas constant, T is the temperature in Kelvin, and Δn is the change in the number of moles of gas molecules from reactant side to product side.
From the above equation, it is clear that Kc = Kp only when the number of gas molecules on the reactant side is equal to the number of gas molecules on the product side.
Therefore, the correct option is C) the number of molecules entering into the reaction is the same as the number of molecules produced.

They are equal when the sum of the stoichiometric coefficients of the products equals the sum of the S.C. for the reactants (assuming that you are treating the gas as ideal which I assume you are...
**Kc=Kp when the mols of gas on the left side of the equation is equal to the number of mols of gas on the right side of the equation.
**Gas EquilibriumConstants: Kc And Kp. Kc and Kp are theequilibrium constants of gaseous mixtures. However, the difference between the two constants is that Kc is defined by molar concentrations, whereas Kp is defined by the partial pressures of the gasses inside a closed system
