20-litre container at 400 K contains CO₂(g) at pressure 0.4 atm and an excess of SrO (neglect the volume of solid SrO). The volume of the containers is now decreased by moving the movable piston fitted in the container. The maximum volume of the container, when pressure of CO₂ attains its maximum value, will be

Given that: SrCO₃ ⇌ SrO(s) + CO₂(g) kp = 1.6 atm)
