Answer

$1365^{\circ}$C

Work Step by Step

$T_{1}= (0+273)K= 273\,K$ $P_{1}= 250\,torr$ $P_{2}=1500\,torr$ According to Gay Lussac's law, if n and V are constant $\frac{P_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}}{T_{2}}$ $\implies T_{2}=\frac{P_{2}T_{1}}{P_{1}}=\frac{1500\,torr\times273\,K}{250\,torr}=1638\,K$ $=(1638-273)^{\circ}C=1365^{\circ} C$
