If you find the ratio of salt to sulphite( simply by finding moles of salt and sulphite according to the info given) it comes out to be 2:1
& the equation shows 1 mole of sulphite looses 2 electron, therefore 2 mol of metallic salt gain those 2 electrons or 1 mol of metallic salt gains 1 mol of electron
therefore new O.N. of metal = +3-1=+2!
so if metallic salt gains those 2 electrons so why is +3 subtracted by -1 and not with -2.
