Answer:
3.00
Solution:

The metals obtained by auto-reduction from the given list are Pb, Cu, and Hg. Auto-reduction (or self-reduction) is a metallurgical process where a sulfide ore is roasted to partially convert it to oxide, which then reacts with the remaining sulfide to produce the metal. This method is applicable to less electropositive metals.
