When the reaction occurs gaseous sulfur trioxide is formed


An atmospheric chemist, studying the pollutant sulfur trioxide (SO3), places a mixture of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and oxygen (O2) in a rigid 3.75 L container at 607 K and 1.60 atm. When the reaction occurs, gaseous sulfur trioxide is formed according to the balanced equation below and the pressure falls to 1.10 atm. 

SO2 + ½O2 → SO3

Assuming that the temperature at the end of the reaction returns to its original value, what is the partial pressure of sulfur trioxide (SO3) after the reaction? Provide the exact answer, do not round.
