Solution

The correct option is A 0.29 atm
The given reaction is $2 S O_{2} (g) + O_{2} (g) ⇌ 2 S O_{3} (g)$
$K_{p} = \frac{(P_{S O_{3}})^{2}}{(P_{S O_{2}})^{2} P_{O_{2}}} = \frac{1}{P_{O_{2}}}$
Here, partial pressure of $S O_{3}$ and $S O_{2}$ are same because moles of $S O_{2}$ and $S O_{3}$ are equal at equilibrium.
$P_{O_{2}} = \frac{1}{K_{p}}$
$P_{O_{2}} = \frac{1}{3.5} = 0.285$
Hence, the correct answer is option (a).
