To solve this problem, we need to use the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

where P = pressure, V = volume, n = number of moles, R = gas constant, and T = temperature. We can rearrange this equation to solve for density:

d = (P*M)/(R*T)

where d = density, P = pressure, M = molar mass, R = gas constant, and T = temperature.

First, we need to find the number of moles of halothane. We can use the molar mass of halothane:

M = 197.4 g/mol

Next, we need to convert the pressure to atmospheres:

805 Torr = 1.06 atm

Finally, we can plug in the values and solve for density:

d = (1.06 atm * 197.4 g/mol)/(0.0821 L*atm/mol*K * 284 K) = 8.64 g/L

Therefore, the answer is choice A.
