Suppose you begin with 1.50~g of the hydrate copper(ii)sulfate · x-hydrate (cuso4· x h2o), where x is an integer. after dehydration you find that you are left with 0.96~g of the an-hydrate cuso4. what is the unknown integer x. round your answer to the nearest integer, enter only an integer. suppose you begin with of the hydrate kal(so4)2 · 12h2o. after dehydration you find that you are left with 3.0~g of the an-hydrate kal(so4)2. how many grams did you start with? write the value to the correct number of significance figures.

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."

it's all four options.
