Water can decompose at an elevated temperature to give hydrogen and oxygen according to the equation below. At a particular temperature, the partial pressures of H₂O, H₂, and O₂ are 0.055 atm, 0.0065 atm, and 0.0045 atm, respectively, at equilibrium. What is the value of the equilibrium constant, K_P, for this reaction at this temperature?

2H₂O(g) ? 2H₂(g) + O₂(g)
