To convert the pressure from Pa to torr, use the conversion factor $1 \, \text{atm} = 101,325 \, \text{Pa} = 760 \, \text{torr}$. Given pressure in Pa is $3.565 \times 10^4 \, \text{Pa}$. Thus, $\frac{3.565 \times 10^4 \, \text{Pa}}{101,325 \, \text{Pa/atm}} \times 760 \, \text{torr/atm} = 267.4 \, \text{torr}$.
