Question

Nitrogen dioxide decomposes according to the reaction

2 NO2 (g) ⇌ 2 NO (g) + O2 (g) 

Where Kp = 4.48 x 10 ^ -13 at a certain temperature. If 0.40 atm of NO is added to a container and allowed to come to equilibrium, what are the equilibrium partial pressures of NO (g) and O2 (g)? 

P NO =   atm NO

P O2 =   atm O2

Use correct significant figures.
