Answer

1186 mmHg

Work Step by Step

$P_{1}= 780.\,mmHg$ $T_{1}= (-75+273)K=198\,K$ $T_{2}= (28+273)K=301\,K$ According to Gay Lussac's law, if n and V are constant $\frac{P_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}}{T_{2}}$ $\implies P_{2}=\frac{P_{1}T_{2}}{T_{1}}=\frac{780.\,mmHg\times 301\,K}{198\,K}$ $=1186\,mmHg$
