The partial pressure of a gas is proportional to its volume fraction in the mixture.
Partial pressure of $I$ atoms,$p_{I} = 0.40 \times 10^{5} \ Pa = 4 \times 10^{4} \ Pa$.
Partial pressure of $I_{2}$ molecules,$p_{I_{2}} = 0.60 \times 10^{5} \ Pa = 6 \times 10^{4} \ Pa$.
For the equilibrium $I_{2(g)} \longleftrightarrow 2I_{(g)}$,the equilibrium constant $K_{p}$ is given by:
$K_{p} = \frac{(p_{I})^{2}}{p_{I_{2}}}$
Substituting the values:
$K_{p} = \frac{(4 \times 10^{4})^{2}}{6 \times 10^{4}}$
$K_{p} = \frac{16 \times 10^{8}}{6 \times 10^{4}}$
$K_{p} = 2.67 \times 10^{4} \ Pa$.

From the given data of equilibrium constants for the following reactions:
$(1) \ CO_{2(g)} + H_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons CO_{(g)} + H_2O_{(g)} \ ; \ K_1$
$(2) \ CO_{(g)} + H_2O_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons CO_{2(g)} + H_{2(g)} \ ; \ K_2$
Wait,the provided question text has a typo in the reaction equations. Assuming the standard problem format where we relate equilibrium constants for reverse or combined reactions,if the target reaction is the same as reaction $(1)$,the answer is $K_1$. However,based on the options provided,this is likely a question asking for the relationship between $K_1$ and $K_2$ where reaction $(2)$ is the reverse of reaction $(1)$. If reaction $(2)$ is the reverse of reaction $(1)$,then $K_2 = \frac{1}{K_1}$. Given the options,please re-verify the input. Assuming the question asks for the equilibrium constant of a reaction derived from these,if the target reaction is $CO_{(g)} + H_2O_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons CO_{2(g)} + H_{2(g)}$,the answer is $K_1^{-1}$. Given the options,if we assume the target reaction is the reverse of reaction $(1)$,then $K = \frac{1}{K_1}$.
