Answer:
Alkanes naturally occur in crude oil and are a major component of many fuels and solvents derived from petroleum
1. a. FeS + 2HCl --> FeCl2 + H2S
b. This is a double- replacement reaction. (The elements "switch partners".)
2. a.2Na + F2 --> 2NaF
b. This is a composition/synthesis reaction. (The two reactants are combining or synthesizing to make one product.)
3. a. 2HgO --> 2Hg + O2
b. This is a decomposition reaction. (The single reactant is breaking down or "decomposing" into multiple reactants.)
4. Hydrogen gas reacts with oxygen gas to create water in a composition/synthesis reaction.
I hope these answers will help you! If you need any explanation, ask and hopefully I can get back to you. ;)
<u>Answer:</u> The true statement is iron can reduce
to gold metal
<u>Explanation:</u>
Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction.
The reactivity of metal is determined by a series known as reactivity series. The metals lying above in the series are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.

Metal A is more reactive than metal B.
We are given:
Iron can reduce copper, silver can reduce gold, sodium can reduce iron and copper can reduce silver metal.
The increasing order of reactivity thus follows:

where, sodium is most reactive and gold is least reactive
For the given options:
<u>Option 1:</u> Copper cannot easily reduce sodium ion to sodium metal because it is less reactive.

<u>Option 2:</u> Iron cant easily reduce gold ion to gold metal because it is more reactive.

<u>Option 3:</u> Silver cannot easily reduce iron ion to iron metal because it is less reactive.

Hence, the true statement is iron can reduce
to gold metal

even no = 3/6 = 1/2
no. less than 5 = 4/6 = 2/3
