The correct answer is: $1 / 2$ atm
$T_1=273^{\circ} \mathrm{C}=273+273^{\circ} \mathrm{K}=546^{\circ} \mathrm{K}$
$T_2=0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}=273+0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}=273^{\circ} \mathrm{K}$
$P_1=1 . P_2=$ ?
According to Gay-Lussac's law
$\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2} \quad \therefore \quad P_2=\frac{P_1 T_2}{T_1}=\frac{1 \times 273^{\circ} \mathrm{K}}{546^{\circ} \mathrm{K}} \quad$ atm; $\quad \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~atm}$.
