Balanced chemical reaction:
2NaCl(aq) + Hg₂(C₂H₃O₂)₂(aq) → Hg₂Cl₂(s) + 2NaC₂H₃O₂<span>(aq).
</span>NaCl - sodium chloride.
Hg₂(C₂H₃O₂)₂ - mercury(I) acetate.
NaC₂H₃O₂ - sodium acetate.
Hg₂Cl₂ - mercury(I) chloride or <span>mercurous chloride</span>, low solubility in water.
Oxidation number of sodium is +1 and for mercury is also +1.
You already write there it's answer ಠಿ_ಠ
Aq means it's soluble in H2O by default
s means it's solid, not soluble.
Answer: <em>The </em><em>alkali metals</em><em> reactivity is generally higher than the alkaline earth metals. </em>
Explanation: <em>This makes the alkaline earth metals with their two valence electrons less reactive than alkali metals with their one valence electron.</em>
<u>Alkali metals is ns1 and alkaline earth metals is ns2</u>
