Answer:
Explanation:
Reactivity series of metals: Potassium (most reactive) > Sodium > Lithium > Calcium > Magnesium > Aluminium > Zinc > Iron > Copper > Silver > Gold (least reactive)
List from information given in question: Magnesium > Tin > lead chloride > iron chloride
Reasoning: Magnesium is the most reactive from a.) the reactivity series and b.) it reacts with iron chloride when Tin does not, therefore being more reactive than Tin. The chlorides come last as they are compounds. Iron chloride is last as Iron is quite unreactive (refer to reactivity series).
