Answer

765.42 torr

Work Step by Step

Let $T_{1} = 155^{o}C + 273 K = 428 K$, $P_{1} = 1200 torr$, $P_{2} = ?$ $T_{2} = 0^{o}C + 273 = 273K$, Using Gay Lussac's Law, we have: $\frac{P_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}}{T_{2}}$ $\frac{1200 torr}{428 K} = \frac{P_{2}}{273 K}$ $P_{2} = \frac{273 K}{428 K}$ x 1200 torr = 765.42 torr
