I know it is either B or D, since I know that K will oxidize in water, and Ag will have a tougher time oxidizing.  I am going to lean towards D for my answer.

Answer is: D. Ag < Cu < Cr < K.

Reactivity series is an empirical progression of a series of metals, arranged by their reactivity from highest to lowest (alkaline metals have highest reactivity and Noble metals lowest reactivity):

K > Ba > Sr > Na > Ca > Mg > Be > Al > Mn > Zn > Cr> Fe > Cd > Co > Ni > Sn > Pb > H(in acids) > Cu > Hg > Ag.

Metal higher in the reactivity series will displace another and it will be oxidized.

For example, potassium is more reactive than silver.

Chemical reaction: K + AgCl → KCl + Ag.

Potassium is oxidized (from oxidation number 0 to +1) and silver is reduced (from oxidation number +1 to 0).

Answer:

Explanation:

The change in enthalpy of a substance when heated is given by

ΔH = m x Csp x ΔT

so the enthalpy change is dependent on the specific heat , i.e its capactity to absorb heat, and is not influenced by factors such as being closer to the melting point, volume , potential energy or being a solid or liquid.
