This is because molar concentration of a pure solid or liquid is independent of the amount present.
Since density as well as molar mass of pure liquid or solid is fixed; their molar concentrations are constant.The concentration of solid or liquid is = = =
At constant temperature, the density and molar mass of pure solid and liquid are constant.
Due to this, their molar concentrations are constant and are not included in the equilibrium constant.
