In a rigid 2.0 L container, a solid catalyst is used to convert ammonia into nitrogen and hydrogen gas via an endothermic process, shown below. 2 NH3 (g) → N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g)   Initially, the container contains only ammonia at pressure of 2.56 atm and a temperature of 25 °C. The reaction proceeds and the final temperature of the product mixture is 15 °C. Assuming the reaction went to completion, what is the change in pressure in the container?
