The volume can be calculated using the ideal gas law, PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is temperature. First, convert the number of atoms to moles by dividing by Avogadro's number (6.022 × 10^23 atoms/mol). 9.783 × 10^1 atoms is 9.783 × 10^1 / 6.022 × 10^23 = 1.625 × 10^-22 moles. This is an incorrect interpretation due to a misreading of the scientific notation and the actual question's intent. The correct interpretation involves recognizing the scientific notation and symbols given for the number of atoms, which likely was intended to represent a much larger number than initially calculated. Given the conditions (9.25 atm and 512K), and assuming the use of the ideal gas constant R = 0.0821 L·atm/(mol·K), one would solve for V using the correct number of moles derived from the actual number of atoms specified. However, without the precise conversion from the given number of atoms to moles (due to the misinterpretation of the notation), the direct calculation leading to the correct answer (A) 7.38 L cannot be accurately detailed here. The correct approach involves using the ideal gas law with the correctly interpreted number of moles, pressure, and temperature to find the volume.
