Only species that are in the same phase and participate in the reaction are included in the equilibrium constant expression. Therefore, the solvent (water) and any reactants that are not present in the same phase as the other reactants and products should be excluded. In this case, the liquid solvent (H₂O) should be excluded from the equilibrium constant expression.
