For ideal gas behaviour, mole `prop` Pressure, (at consatnt V and T)
`:. a prop 0.40, (a-x) prop (0.40-P)`
`:. K=K=2.303/t"log"_(10)a/(a-x)`
`0.693/14.5=2.303/12"log"_(10)0.40/((0.40-P))`
`:. P=0.175 atm`
`:.` Pressure of ether decomposed= `0.175`
Now, total pressure `=0.40-P+P+P+P`
`=0.40+2P=0.40+2xx0.175`
`=0.75 atm`
