Answer

$$K_p= 2.0$$

Work Step by Step

Since this reaction produces 2 moles of DH: $\Delta H^o_{rxn} = 2 \times 0.32 \space kJ = 0.64 \space kJ = 640 \space J$ Van't Hoff's equation: $$ln \space \frac{K_1}{K_2} = -\frac{\Delta H^o_{rxn}}{R}\Bigg(\frac {1}{T_2} - \frac{1}{T_1} \Bigg)$$ $$ln \space \frac{1.80}{K_2} = -\frac{640}{8.314}\Bigg(\frac {1}{298} - \frac{1}{500.} \Bigg)$$ $$ln \space \frac{1.80}{K_2} = -0.10436$$ $$\frac{1.80}{K_2} = e^{-0.10436} = 0.9009$$ $$K_2 = \frac{1.80}{0.9009} = 2.0$$
