I have a question about the solution (a) in this example, how does it know P_H2S is the same as ammonia? is there something I've miss?

Before adding H2S, the partial pressures of H2S and NH3 are equal because of the stoichiometry of the dissociation reaction.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that. Thanks for your help :D
