Final answer:

To calculate the concentration of the chemist's silver oxide solution, assume the reaction goes to completion and calculate the [Ag+] produced by dissociation of the complex.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the silver ion concentration, [Ag+], of the solution, we need to assume that the reaction goes to completion and calculate the [Ag+] produced by dissociation of the complex. We start by finding the moles of AgNO3 and KCN using their molar masses. Then we calculate the moles of Ag+ produced by dissociation of Ag(NH3)2+ complex. Finally, we divide the moles of Ag+ by the volume of the solution to find the concentration in mol/L.
