<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
