A sample of the gas A was introduced into an evacuated flask so that the pressure of pure A would be 0.80 atm at 400 K. However, A broke down into the gases B and C, and the actual pressure in the flask was found to be 1.3 atm. Calculate the Kp for the decomposition reaction

A(g) <-> B(g) + C(g)

at 400 K. Also calculate K at this temperature.

Kp: 0.36

K: 0.0254
