C) 3,445 torr
D) 81.5 torr
Expanded
Increased in volume or size, often by the introduction of air or in response to heat.
New Pressure
An unspecified or novel force applied uniformly over a surface, measured typically in units such as pascals.
- Employ gas laws to resolve complications stemming from alterations in temperature, volume, and pressure.
- Gauge the change in gas properties in response to diverse environmental conditions by leveraging gas laws.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume when temperature and amount of gas are constant (Boyle's Law: P1V1 = P2V2). Given P1 = 1060 torr and V1 = 2 L, and V2 = 6.5 L, solving for P2 gives P2 = (P1V1)/V2 = (1060 torr * 2 L) / 6.5 L = 326 torr.
