from Wikipedia (this article)

The SI unit of charge, the coulomb, is the quantity of electricity carried in 1 second by a current of 1 ampere.
Conversely, a current of one ampere is one coulomb of charge going past a given point per second:

1 A = 1 Q%2Fs.

In general, charge Q is determined by steady current I flowing for a time t as Q = It.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Based on it, the charge Q is

Q = 2.5 A * 90 seconds = 225 coulomb.

(90 seconds = 1.5 minute).
