During a recent winter month in sheboygan, wisconsin, it was neccessary to obtain 3500 kwh of heat providd by a natural gas furnace with 98 % efficiency to keep a small house warm (the effiiency of a gas furnace is the percent of the heat produced by combution that is transferred into the house).
(a) assume that natural gas is pure methane and determine the volume of naturalll gas in cubic feet that was required to heat the hiuse was56 of; at this temperature a pressure of 1atm, natural gas has a density of 0.681 g/l.

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.

d.) circle motion requires a force to give it a centripetal acceleration.
