24. a sports ball is inflated to an internal pressure of 1.85 atm at room temperature (25 °c). if the ball is then played with outside where the temperature is 7.5 °c, what will be the new pressure of the ball? assume the ball does not change in volume nor does any air leak from the ball a) 0.555 atm b) 1.74 atm c) 1.85 atm d) 1.97 atm

The correct answer is Option B.

Explanation:

To calculate the final pressure of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume.

Mathematically,

       (at constant volume)

where,

are the initial pressure and temperature of the gas.

are the final pressure and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

Conversion factor:  

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.

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.

the answer would be a
