Phosphorus pentafluoride, PF5(g), partially decomposes to PF3(g) and F2(g) at a temperature of 600 K. A 2.0-liter container is filled with pure PF5. At a temperature of 600 K, the initial pressure of PF5 is 2.0 atm. When equilibrium is reached, half of the original amount of PF5 has decomposed. The equilibrium constant, Kp, is ____.
