Select the most dilute solution a. A solution made by dissolving 60g of sodium hydroxide in 2000cm cubed b. A solution made by dissolving 40 g of sodium hydroxide in 1000 cm cubed of solution. c. A solution made by dissolving 10 g of sodium hydroxide in 250 cm cubed of solution. d. A solution made by dissolving 20 g of sodium hydroxide in 500 cm3 of solution.

A, a solution made by dissolving 60g of sodium hydroxide in 2000cm³

Explanation:

Concentration = no. of moles / volume (in dm³)

1 dm³ = 1000cm³

no. of moles = mass / molar mass

molar mass of NaOH = 23.0+16.0+1.0 = 40 g/mol

Let's find the concentration of each of the solutions:

A:

= 60/40 /2

= 0.75 mol/dm³

B:

= 40/40 /1

= 1 mol/dm³

C:

= 10/40 / 0.25

=1 mol/dm³

D:

= 20/40 / 0.5

= 1 mol/dm³

Since 0.75mol/dm³ is the lowest concentration out of 4, it is the most dilute.

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.
