The equilibrium constant

K_P

of the reaction :

2SO_2 + O_2 \rightleftharpoons 2SO_3

900 \text{ atm}^{-1}

800 \text{ K}

. A mixture containing

SO_3

and

O_2

having initial pressure of 1 atm and 2 atm respectively is heated at constant volume to equilibrate. Calculate partial pressure of each gas at

800 \text{ K}

at equilibrium.
