At 25°C in a closed system, ammonium hydrogen sulfide exists as the following equilibrium. NH4HS(s)<--->NH3(g) + H2S(g) When a sample of pure NH4HS(s) is placed in an evacuated reaction vessel and allowed to come to equilibrium at 25°C, total pressure is 0.660 atm. What is the value of Kp?

Start by writing down the system which is at equilibrium:
The solid reactant has zero partial pressure
So
Where
So
and
since they are formed in a 1:1 ratio
So
