The correct answer is: 0.095 atm and 0.64 atm

N2O4g2NO2g

Pressure at equilibrium
Kp=pNO22pN2O4=1.120.28=4.32 atm

If volume of the container is doubled, the pressure will reduced to half

N2O42N2O

New pressure,

0.0282-p1.12+2p

Kp=1.12+2p20.282-p=4.32

On solving, we get

p=0.045

 pN2O4=0.14-0.045=0.095 atm

pNO2=0.55+2×0.045=0.64 atm
