Hello. Everyone in this video. We're given this diagram over here and we're being asked to determine if the purple metal will react with a solution with red cat islands. Let's break this down. I'll call the first reaction a The second one reaction be Alright. So here on the first reaction for a we have the red plus our orange cat islands to give us red cat ions and orange are known as O. G. So this indicates here in this written out reaction that the relative elemental position of red is going to be before orange. So red orange. Okay, now for reaction be here we have our purple cat island's reacting with our orange to give us orange cat ions and just neutral solid purple. And then you see in this scenario then that orange would be before purple some orange. Now kind of setting up these two then. So just put just the some signs or have read orange than purple. So we're concerning here in the question that the purple model with the red cans. So the red with a purple. So a purple metal and red cans, there's no ration that will occur because the red right over here has a higher activity than our purple is all the way at the end of the spectrum. So we say that these three statements the correct one that matches our two actions will be beat that the purple metal will not react with our red cannons
