Question
**Equilibrium Partial Pressure Calculation**

**Scenario:**

A reaction vessel contains gases A and B. Initially, the pressure of gas A is 0.50 atm, and the pressure of gas B is 0.590 atm. 

The reaction of interest is:
\[ \text{A (g) } \rightleftharpoons 2 \text{ B (g)} \]

**Problem:**

Determine the equilibrium partial pressure of B. The equilibrium constant (Kp) for this reaction is 67.2.

**Procedure:**

1. **Initial Conditions:**
   - Pressure of A: 0.50 atm
   - Pressure of B: 0.590 atm

2. **Calculator Interface:**
   - A numerical keypad is shown to compute the required values, with operations including addition, multiplication, and clear/reset functions.

3. **Objective:**
   - Use the equilibrium expression for the reaction and given Kp to solve for the equilibrium partial pressures of A and B. 

\[
K_p = \frac{{(P_B)^2}}{{P_A}}
\]

Given the initial and equilibrium data, set up the equation to find the changes in pressure and solve for the unknowns.
