2 g (an excess) of iron is added to 50 cm3 of 0.5 M sulfuric acid. When the reaction is over, the reaction mixture is filtered. The mass of the unreacted iron is found to be 0.6 g. (Ar: Fe = 56.) a. What mass of iron took part in the reaction?
b. How many moles of iron atoms took part?
c. How many moles of sulfuric acid reacted?
d. Write the equation for the reaction, and deduce the charge on the iron ion that formed.
e. What volume of hydrogen (calculated at itp) bubbled off during the reaction?

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
