Part A

The molar mass of silver = 107.87 g/mol ( from periodic table)

part B

The moles of silver is 0.2946 moles

calculation

moles =mass÷ molar mass

= 31.78 g ÷ 107.87 =0.2946 moles


part c

The number of atoms of silver that are in this sample is 1.773 x 10²³ atoms

calculation

According to Avogadro's law 1 mole = 6.02 x 10²³ atoms

0.2946 moles= ? atoms

by cross multiplication

= [ (0.2946 moles x 6.02 x 10²³ ) / 1 mole] = 1.773 x 10²³ atoms
