Answer:

The coefficient of Sn(OH)_3^{-} is 3 in the balanced redox reaction.

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom loses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.

X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X

For the given chemical reaction:

Bi(OH)_3+Sn(OH)_3^{-}\rightarrow Sn(OH)6^{2-}+Bi

The half cell reactions for the above reaction follows:

Oxidation half reaction:  Sn(OH)_3^{-}+3OH^-\rightarrow Sn(OH)6^{2-}+2e^-

Reduction half reaction:  Bi(OH)_3+3e^-\rightarrow Bi+3OH^-

To balance the oxidation half reaction must be multiplied by 3 and reduction half reaction must be multiplied by 2 thus, the balanced equation is:-

3Sn(OH)_3^{-}+3OH^-+2Bi(OH)_3\rightarrow 3Sn(OH)6^{2-}+2Bi

<u>The coefficient of Sn(OH)_3^{-} is 3 in the balanced redox reaction.</u>

Rank the following atoms by number of valence electrons. Rank from most to fewest valence electrons. To rank items as equivalent
Fed [463]

To count the number of valence electrons we look at the electronic configuration and add the electrons form the electronic shell with the highest principal quantum number.

Rb: [Kr] 5s¹ - 1 valence electron

Xe: [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁶ - 8 valence electrons

Sb: [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p³ - 5 valence electrons

I:    [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁵ - 7 valence electrons

In:  [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p¹ - 3 valence electrons

Rank from most to fewest valence electrons:

Xe > I > Sb > In > Rb
