Answer:

The pressure is [tex][O_2] = 4.8 *10^{-5} \ atm[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  pressure of  [tex]SO_3[/tex] is  [tex][SO_3 ] = 0.63 \ atm[/tex]

     The  pressure of  [tex]SO_2[/tex] is  [tex][SO_ 2] = 0.30 \ atm[/tex]

      The equilibrium constant is [tex]K_p = 1.2 *10^{-5}[/tex]

     The  reaction is

           [tex]2SO_3 _{(g)}[/tex] ⇔ [tex]2SO_2_{(g)} + O_2 _{(g)}[/tex]

Generally the equilibrium constant is mathematically represented as

           [tex]K_p = \frac{(SO_2)^2 * (O_2)}{(SO_3)^2}[/tex]

=>         [tex][O_2] = \frac{k_p * [SO_3] ^2 }{[SO_2]^2}[/tex]

substituting values

            [tex][O_2] = \frac{1.2 *10^{-5} * 0.60 ^2 }{0.30^2}[/tex]

             [tex][O_2] = 4.8 *10^{-5} \ atm[/tex]
