Solution

The correct option is A 0.0582 atm

NH2COONH42NH3+CO2
Initial moles
1
0
0
Moles at equilibrium
1-x
2x
x
Mole fraction

0.66
0.34
Partial pressure

0.66P
0.34P

The expression for the equilibrium constant is

Kp=P2NH3PCO2
Substitute values in the above expression
2×105=(0.66P)2×0.34P
Hence, P=0.0582atm
