Ch.4 - Reactions in Aqueous Solution

Chapter 4, Problem 137c

Some metals occur naturally in their elemental state while others occur as compounds in ores. Gold, for instance, is found as the free metal; mercury is obtained by heating mercury(II) sulfide ore in oxygen; and zinc is obtained by heating zinc(II) oxide ore with coke (carbon). Judging from their positions in the activity series, which of the metals sil-ver, platinum, and chromium would probably be obtained by (c) heating its oxide with coke?
