Kp from partial pressures calculator

This Kp from partial pressures calculator evaluates the pressure equilibrium constant for a gas-phase reaction when you already know the equilibrium partial pressures of every species that appears in the expression.

Use it from WebAPIEmailTelegramApp soon

Enter parallel lists of partial pressures and signed stoichiometric coefficients — positive for products, negative for reactants — and the engine returns Kp equals the product over i of P_i to the power ν_i, along with the gas-phase mole change Δn, the separate product and reactant factors, and a short formula reminder. The path is fully deterministic: finite arithmetic only, no network calls, no sampling, and no date-dependent shortcuts. Classic textbook checks include ammonia synthesis N2 plus 3 H2 yields 2 NH3 with partial pressures 0.5, 1.5, and 0.1 giving a small Kp, and the reverse check that a zero reactant pressure is rejected rather than silently producing infinity. Use it free in the browser for homework, lab write-ups, and exam drills, or call the API at $0.002 per successful request when you need reproducible Kp fixtures in CI, tutoring software, or teaching demos.

How to use it

Enter your values in the form above. The tool checks them before calculating and shows the result on the same page.

Check your inputs

Use the labels and units shown next to each field. If something is missing or outside the allowed range, the page points to the field to fix.

Use it again or automate it

Use the browser tool for individual checks and the API when you need the same capability in an automated workflow.

What you can do with it

Get an answer now

Enter one set of values and see the result without building a spreadsheet or script.

Compare scenarios

Change one value at a time and rerun the calculation to understand what affects the result.

Automate repeated work

Use the API when the same calculation needs to run inside your product or workflow.

For developers — API access

Everything on this page is available programmatically. This section is for teams who want to wire it into their own systems; everyone else can just use the tool above.

API endpoint

POSThttps://api.kit.forhosting.com/chem/kp-from-partial-pressures

Prefer to automate it? One authenticated POST creates the task; the result comes back by webhook or a signed link. The same capability also runs here on the web, by email and from Telegram — and soon from our app too.

Example request

    0.5,
    1.5,
    0.1
  ],
  "coefficients": [
    -1,
    -3,

Example response

}

The API is asynchronous: the call returns a task_id immediately and the result arrives by webhook. Polling is capped at 1 req/s per task.

Pricing

Per request$0.002

Published price — no tokens, no invented credits. A failed task is never charged.

Limits

`max_abs_value`	1000000000000000
`max_species`	50

Errors

HTTP	Code	Meaning
`401`	`unauthorized`	Missing or invalid API key.
`402`	`insufficient_balance`	Your balance doesn't cover the task price.
`404`	`unknown_type`	That task type doesn't exist.
`429`	`rate_limited`	Too many requests. Use the webhook instead of polling.
