For #C(s) + CO_2(g) rightleftharpoons 2CO#;

#K_p=p_"carbon monoxide"^2/(p_"carbon dioxide")#

Explanation:

And thus #K_p# is simply the quotient of the partial pressures, modified by their stoichiometric coefficient. Carbon does not appear in the expression as a solid does not exert a partial pressure, nor does it express a concentration in #K_c#.
