The equation for converting between Kp and Kc is ...
Kp = Kc (RT)∆n
Thus, the only way that Kp and Kc can be equal is when ∆n = 0. This then reduces the equation to
Kp = Kc(RT)0 = Kc x 1 = Kc
So, in the current problem, the circumstances when Kp = Kc would be when the sum of a and b = c
or ... ∑a + b = c
