Solution

The equilibrium reaction is given as:

NH2CO2NH4(s) ⇌ 2NH3(g) + CO2(g)

At equilibrium, the total pressure of the gases is 3 atm. Since the reaction produces 2 moles of NH3 for every 1 mole of CO2, we can say that the partial pressures of NH3 and CO2 are 2 atm and 1 atm respectively.

The equilibrium constant Kp is given by the expression:

Kp = (P_NH3)^2 * P_CO2

Substituting the given pressures into this expression gives:

Kp = (2 atm)^2 * 1 atm = 4 atm

Therefore, the equilibrium constant Kp for this reaction at 298 K is 4 atm.
