At a certain temperature and a total pressure of 1.2 atm, the partial pressures of an equilibrium mixture 2A(g) 2 B(g) are PA = 0.60 atm and PB = 0.60 atm. (a) Calculate the Kp for the reaction at this temperature. (b) If the total pressure were increased to 1.5 atm, what would be the partial pressures of A and B at equilibrium?
