Homogeneous gaseous equilibrium

N₂O₄(g) 2 NO₂(g)

At equilibrium, at a certain temperature, the partial pressure of N₂O₄(g) is 0.50 bar and the partial pressure of NO₂(g) also is 0.50 bar. On increasing the total pressure to 2.00 bar at that constant temperature, calculate the partial pressures of both components.

a	Calculate Kp from the given data at equilibrium.
b	In which sense does the reaction occur owing to the increase of the total pressure?
Suppose that, in the new formed equilibrium state, PN2O4(g) = x and PNO2(g) = y.
c	Write an equation that expresses that the total pressure is equal to 2.00 bar.
d	Write an expression for Kp.
e	From these two equations, calculate x and y.
