Question

Consider the hypothetical reaction A(g) ⇌ 2 B(g). A
flask is charged with 0.75 atm of pure A, after which it is
allowed to reach equilibrium at 0 °C. At equilibrium, the
partial pressure of A is 0.36 atm. (a) What is the total pressure
in the flask at equilibrium? (b) What is the value of
Kp? (c) What could we do to maximize the yield of B?
