Detailed Solution

 CO2    +   C     2 CO
Initial moles0.4                             0
Moles at equilibrium0.4 -x                           2x

Total moles at  equilibrium = 0.4 - x + 2x 

At constant volume and temperature p  n

0.4 -x +2x = 0.6

x = 0.2

PCO2= 0.4 - x = 0.4 -0.2 =0.2 atm

PCO= 2x = 2× 0.2 = 0.4 atm

Kp  = PCO2PCO2=0.420.2=0.8 atm
