The Equilibrium Constant, K_p, Equals 3

The equilibrium constant, K_p, equals 3.40 for the isomerization reaction: cis-2-butene ⇌ trans-2-butene
If a flask initially contains 0.250 bar of cis-2-butene and 0. 165 bar of trans-2-butene, what is the equilibrium pressure of each gas?

A) P(cis-2-butene) = 0.0 485 bar and P(trans-2-butene) = 0. 165 bar
B) P(cis-2-butene) = 0.0 458 bar and P(trans-2-butene) = 0. 156 bar
C) P(cis-2-butene) = 0.0 735 bar and P(trans-2-butene) = 0.250 bar
D) P(cis-2-butene) = 0. 0943 bar and P(trans-2-butene) = 0. 321 bar
