Below are shown, for five metals, reduction reactions and standard electrode potential values. which of these metals is the leas
t reactive?
1 answer:
Above question is incomplete. Complete question is attached below
........................................................................................................................
Solution:
Reduction potential of metal ions are provided below. Higher the value to reduction potential, greater is the tendency of metal to remain in reduced state.
In present case, reduction potential of Au is maximum, hence it is least prone to undergo oxidation. Hence, it is least reactive.
On other hand, reduction potential of Na is minimum, hence it is most prone to undergo oxidation. Hence, it is most reactive.

Hello there!
In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to figure out the required net ionic equation by firstly writing out the complete molecular equation between aspirin and sodium acetate:
Whereas acetic acid and sodium acetylsalicylate are formed. Now, we write the complete ionic equation whereby sodium acetate and sodium acetylsalicylate are ionized because they are salts yet neither aspirin nor acetic acid are ionized as they are weak acids:
Finally, for the net ionic equation we cancel out the sodium spectator ions to obtain:
