 <span>Same answer, different setup. We know that the sum of the oxidation numbers is zero for a compound and the ionic charge for a polyatomic ion, and we know that sulfite ion is -2. 

Create an algebraic equation by multiplying the subscripts times the oxidation number of a single element. 

+x -6 = -2 
+x -2 
S O3 

Solve for x 
x = +4</span>

inysia [295]

Answer: a = 2 ; f = 5 ; b = 2 ; g = 2 ; c = 2 ; h = 2 ; d = 4 ; i = 5 ; e = 3 ; j = 7

Explanation: Some rules to follow while calculating sig figs is

1. If a number like 4500 is present, only two sig figs are counted, but none of the zeros are, but if 4500. has a decimal point present, then you should count all the numbers available.

2. If a number like .0005 is present, only count 5 as a sig fig, however if the number is .00050, count the 0 after the 5 in this example (this would then have two sig figs.
