physical chemistry - What kind of equilibrium constant we use for Gibbs free energy and Van't Hoff equation?


We know that the Gibbs free energy is related to the equilibrium constant by the following equation: $$\Delta_\mathrm{r}G^\circ=-RT\ln K$$ We also know the Van't Hoff equation: $$\ln\left(\frac{K_2}{K_1}\right)=\frac{-\Delta H^\circ}{R}\left(\frac{1}{T_2}-\frac{1}{T_1}\right)$$


$\left(R = 8.314\ \mathrm{J~mol^{-1}~K^{-1}}\right)$


My question is: what kind of $K$ do we use for these equations? Concentration quotient ($K_c$) or pressure quotient ($K_p$)?
