Which of the following reactions occur spontaneously as written, with the production of a measurable electric current? a. $\mathrm{I}_{2}+\mathrm{NaBr} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Br}_{2}+2 \mathrm{NaI}$ b. $\mathrm{Li}+\mathrm{NaCl} \longrightarrow \mathrm{LiCl}+\mathrm{Na}$ c. $\mathrm{Li}^{+}+\mathrm{Na}^{+} \longrightarrow \mathrm{NaLi}$ d. $\mathrm{Ag}+\mathrm{Li} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Ag}^{+}+\mathrm{Li}^{+}$ e. $2 \mathrm{Li}^{+}+\mathrm{F}_{2} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{LiF}$
More active metals will cause the reduction of less active metals. Less active metals will cause no reaction (N.R.) in more active metals. What is the complete and balanced reaction of solid Na with aqueous calcium ions? Use the following activity series to arrive at your answer: Reactivity Series of Metals Potassium K (Most reactive metal) Sodium Na Calcium Ca Magnesium Mg Aluminium Al Zinc Zn Iron Fe Tin Sn Lead Pb [Hydrogen] [H] Copper Cu Mercury Hg Silver Ag Gold Au (Least reactive metal) These metals are more reactive than hydrogen These metals are less reactive than hydrogen Na(s) + Ca2+(aq) --> Na+(aq) + Ca(s) 2 Na+(aq) + Ca(s) --> 2 Na(s) + Ca2+(aq) 2 Na(s) + Ca2+(aq) --> 2 Na+(aq) + Ca(s) Na+(aq) + Ca(s) --> Na(s) + Ca2+(aq) N.R.
