a) The E might belong to group 13.
As the formula of a chemical compound is derived by the cross multiplication of the valency of the atoms. As formula of the given oxide is and valency of O atom is -2, therefore valency of element E must be +3 in order to obtain E2O3.
Also, in EF3, the valency of E will be +3 because there are three atoms of fluorine who has an individual valency of -1. Thus, e will have the valency of +3.
The Group 13 is the boron group which has the following elements:
- Boron
- Aluminium
- Gallium
- Indium
- Thallium
All these elements have the valency of +3.

Answer:
2 sig figs.
Explanation:
Sig Fig Rules:
Any non-zero digit is a significant figure.
Any zeros between 2 non-zero digits are significant figures.
Trailing zeros after the decimal are significant figures.
The given reaction is,
In this reaction, the positive and negative ions of both the reactants rearrange resulting in the formation of new compounds. Such a reaction is referred to as the double replacement or the double displacement reaction. These type of reactions usually take place in aqueous medium and one of the products is a precipitate.
Double displacement reactions are of three types, precipitation reaction, neutralization reaction and reaction involving the formation of a gas. The given reaction is a precipitation reaction as one of the products is a solid.
