Task 2: Construct an activity series for the 5 different fictional metals (Fo, Im, My, Od,
Wd) given their standard reduction potentials measured below and the observations.
Arrange the metals in order of their decreasing electrochemical activity (i.e. most
negative to most positive standard reduction potential). Entries marked with 'x' were
not measured.
