1) Assume the following reactions involving metals A, B, C and D and their respective metal ions occur spontaneously. Based on this data, which is the most active metal?
D(s) + B2+(aq) → D2+(aq) + B(s)
A(s) + 3 D2+(aq) → 2 A3+(aq) + 3 D(s)
C(s) + B2+(aq) → C2+(aq) + B(s)
C(s) + D2+(aq) → C2+(aq) + D(s)
2 A(s) + 3 C2+(aq) → 2 A3+(aq) + 3 C(s)
2 A(s) + 3 B2+(aq) → 2 A3+(aq) + 3 B(s)
(A, B, C, or D)
2) Which species is the oxidizing agent in the reaction shown?
Fe(s) + PbCl2(aq) → FeCl2(aq) + Pb(s)
(iron, lead (II) ion, iron (II) ion, lead)
