Consider a reaction where a solid dissociates to give gases. There must a equilibrium between them, define the equilibrium constant in terms of pressure as $K_p$. Suppose I take the gases alone in a container without the solid. The amount is such that the $Q_p$ comes out to be less than $K_p$. Now would they show back reaction?

While being introduced to concept of $K_c$ we are told concentration of solids is constant so it isn't considered in equilibrium constants. But here the concentration is altogether 0, so why won't/how will we take that into consideration.
