Question

historically, utensils like forks and spoons were often made from silver (ag) metal. although modern cutlery is more commonly composed of stainless steel, the term \silverware\ is still used to describe it. how many moles of silver atoms are in a spoon that contains 32.5 grams of silver? refer to a periodic table. write your answer to the correct number of significant figures. round if necessary. moles

Explanation:

Step1: Identify molar - mass of silver

From the periodic table, the molar mass of silver (Ag) is approximately 107.87 g/mol.

Step2: Calculate moles of silver

Use the formula $n=\frac{m}{M}$, where $n$ is the number of moles, $m$ is the mass in grams, and $M$ is the molar mass in g/mol. Given $m = 32.5$ g and $M=107.87$ g/mol, then $n=\frac{32.5}{107.87}\approx0.301$ mol.

Answer:

0.301
