1) Rank from most to least reactive.
acetic acid, methyl acetate, methyl acetamide, acetic anhydride, acetyl chloride

Answer #1

1. Reactivity of-

Acid Chloride > Acetic anhydride > Methyl Acetate > Acetic acid  > Methyl acetamide

2. More negative Gibbs free energy of formation means, the compound is formed more spontaneously i.e. the forward reaction is more favorable. Now reactivity means, how fast the compound is combining with other reagents or maybe participating in decomposition. Hence, as the formation of a compound and its reactivity is inversely proportional, more negative Gibbs energy of formation a compound has, more stable it would be i.e. lower will be its reactivity.
