Final answer:
The final volume of a gas with initial conditions of 78 atm pressure, 42 L volume, and 750 K temperature changing to 910 K temperature and 125 atm pressure is calculated using the combined gas law to be 24.08 liters.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question involves calculating the volume of a gas when its temperature and pressure change. To find the new volume, we can use the combined gas law, which states that for a fixed amount of gas, (P1 * V1) / T1 = (P2 * V2) / T2, where P is pressure, V is volume, and T is the temperature in Kelvin. We have the initial values: P1 = 78 atm, V1 = 42 L, T1 = 750 K, and the final values are P2 = 125 atm and T2 = 910 K.
Plugging these values into the combined gas law we get:
(78 atm * 42 L) / 750 K = (125 atm * V2) / 910 K
By cross-multiplying and solving for V2, the new volume, we find:
V2 = (78 atm * 42 L * 910 K) / (750 K * 125 atm)
V2 = 24.08 L
Therefore, the final volume of the gas when the temperature increases to 910 K and the pressure increases to 125 atm is 24.08 liters.
