The gas phosphine, PH 3 , decomposes by the reaction 2 PH 3 (g) 2 P(s)

Question:

The gas phosphine, PH3, decomposes by the reaction 2 PH3(g) → 2 P(s) + 3 H2(g). In an experiment, pure phosphine was placed in a rigid, sealed flask of volume 1.00 L at 0.64 bar and 298 K. After equilibrium was attained, the total pressure in the flask was found to be 0.93 bar. 

(a) Calculate the equilibrium partial pressures of H2 and PH3

(b) Calculate the mass (in grams) of P produced once equilibrium was reached. 

(c) Calculate K for this reaction.
