i) Aluminium in Al2(SO4)3 ii) Lead in PbO2 iii) Calcium in CaO
iv) Nickel in NiCO3 v) Barium in BaSO3 vi) Iron in FeCl2
vii) Iron in FeCl3 viii) Gold in AuCl3 ix) Cobalt in Co(NO3)3
x) Tin in Sn(SO4)2

Solution

(i) In (SO4)2, valency of S=+6 and that of O=2 ;
In Al2(SO4)3, valency of Al=+3 .
(ii) In PbO2, valency of Pb=+4 and that of O=2 .
(iii) In CaO, valency of O=2, hence valency of Ca=+2 .
(iv) In NiCO3, by charge balance, valency of Ni=+2 ;
In (CO3)2, valency of C=+4 and that of O=2 .
(v) In BaSO3, there is (SO3)2 ion, hence valency of Ba=+2 ;
In (SO3)2, valency of S=+4 and that of O=2 .
(vi) In FeCl2, there are 2Cl ions, hence valency of Fe=+2, valency of Cl=1 .
(vii) FeCl3 has 3Cl ions, valency of Fe=+3 and that of Cl=1 .
(viii) AuCl3 has 3Cl ions, hence valency of Au=+3 and that of Cl1 .
(ix) Co(NO3)3 has 3(NO3) ions, hence valency of Co=+3;
In (NO3), valency of N=+5 and that of O=2 .
(x) Sn(SO4)2 has 2(SO4)2 ions, hence valency of Sn=+4 ;
In (SO4)2, valency of S=+6 and that of O=2 .
