Step 1 : Convert mass of Iron to moles using n = m/MM.

n(Fe) = 37.5 ÷ 55.845 = 0.671501... mol

Step 2 : Using stoichiometric ratios, find how many moles of Fe2O3 are produced.

Fe : Fe2O3 is 4:2, or simply 2:1. For every 2 moles of Fe there is Fe2O3.

Therefore, moles of Fe2O3 is half the amount of Fe!

n(Fe2O3) = 0.5 x 0.671501... = 0.33575... mol

Step 3: Convert the moles of Fe2CO3 to mass using m = n x MM.

m(Fe2O3) = 0.33575... x [2(55.845)+3(15.999)] = 53.61502... grams

Final step: round your answer to the lowest signficant figures. Since you gave me the mass of iron to 3s.f, m(Fe2O3) = 53.6 grams (3s.f) !

Let me know if you're confused in any way!

Answer :

'n' specifies → (B) The energy and average distance from the nucleus.

'l' specifies → (C) The subshell orbital shape.

'ml' specifies → (A) The orbital orientation.

Explanation :

Principle Quantum Numbers : It describes the size of the orbital. It is represented by n. n = 1,2,3,4....

Azimuthal Quantum Number : It describes the shape of the orbital. It is represented as 'l'. The value of l ranges from 0 to (n-1). For l = 0,1,2,3... the orbitals are s, p, d, f...

Magnetic Quantum Number : It describes the orientation of the orbitals. It is represented as $m_l$ . The value of this quantum number ranges from $(-l\text{ to }+l)$ . When l = 2, the value of

Spin Quantum number : It describes the direction of electron spin. This is represented as $m_s$ . The value of this is $+\frac{1}{2}$ for upward spin and $-\frac{1}{2}$ for downward spin.
