For the reaction ,

   $SO_{2}(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_{2}\rightleftarrows SO_{3}(g)$

  If K_P= K_C (RT)^x

 Where, the symbols have usual  meaning , then the value of x is (assuming ideality)

Answer:

Explanation:

For the given reaction, 

$\triangle n_{g}=n_{p}-n_{R}$ where n_P = number  of moles of products

 n_R= number of moles of reactants

  $K_{P}=K_{C}(RT)^{\triangle n_{g}}$

  $\triangle n_{g}=-(1/2)$
