Question

A sample of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is heated to 100°C in a sealed flask and allowed to come to equilibrium with the products of its decomposition.

2 NaHCO3(s) ⇌ Na2CO3(s) + CO2(g) + H2O(g)

If the total pressure in the flask at equilibrium is 0.96 atm, what is KP for the reaction at this temperature?
