Question

The gaseous compound BrCl decomposes at high temperature
in a sealed container: 2 BrCl(g)⇌ Br2(g) + Cl2(g).
Initially, the vessel is charged at 500 K with BrCl(g) at a partial
pressure of 0.500 atm. At equilibrium, the BrCl(g) partial
pressure is 0.040 atm. Calculate the value of Kp at 500 K.
