The Answer to your question would be A
Explanation: This is a reaction of oxidation of 
in the presence of acidified 
. Acidified is a strong oxidizing agent.
To balance out the 
on the reactant side, we write 
on the product side.
Balancing out the following reaction gives us:

The more electronegative an atom is the more unwilling it is to lose its electrons in a compound. If you do try to take a very EN atom away from a compound you'll need to apply a lot of energy for that to happen. I can give an example of a single atom though
<span>Cl has 7 valence electron filled and every atom wants to be like nobles (noble gases), so it's not going to give an electron away b/c it's really close to being like a noble gas. Noble gases are the most stable atoms, which is why I say stability counts.</span>
Answer:
The mass of SO2 will be equal to the sum of the mass of S and O2.
Explanation:
This can be explained by the <em>Law of Conservation of Mass</em>. This law states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed. Knowing this, we can say that the reactants of a chemical reaction must be equal to the products.
In this case, the reactants Sulfur (S) and Oxygen (O2) must equal the mass of the product Sulfur Dioxide (SO2). Therefore, the statement <em>"The mass of SO2 will be equal to the sum of the mass of S and O2" </em>is correct.
<span>These atoms are known as valence atoms.</span>
