1. Which metal is the most reactive? How do you know this? 2. Rank the metals in order of increasing reactivity

3. Give the chemical equations for each single replacement reaction
that took place.

4. Was Fe^3+ reduced? If so, what metal(s) acted as reducing agents?

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6

hope this !

and sorry if i'm late. have a good rest of your day! : d
