A weather balloon calibrated at 0.00 °C to have a volume of 20.0 L has what volume at -40.0 °C assuming pressure is held constant?

17.1 Liters

Explanation:

It's a gas law question (more specifically a Charles's Law question). Formula is V1/T1 = V2/T2. You're given V1 and T1 and T2. However, in order to use the equation, temperature needs to be in Kelvins (by subtracting the degrees C from 273) for the numbers to work (among other reasons, the 0 degrees C will always give you an answer of zero or undefined). Placing all temps in kelvins makes the answers come out right. So 20L/273K = xL/233K gives you the answer when you cross-multiply.

the electronic configuration of an atom with eight electrons is 1s²2s²2p⁴. the orbital diagrams are shown in the figure.

as per the hunds rule:

1. electrons tend to avoid being in the same orbital as per as practicable.

2. electrons in different orbitals of the same energy will have their spin parallel.

this can be illustrated from the multiplicity of the orbitals of the atom. as there are four electrons in the p orbital and p orbital has 3 sub-shells. the electrons can be fed in different ways as shown in the figure but the correct orbital diagram will be as per the hunds rule.
