Calculate the number of electrons in a small, electrically neutral silver pin that has a mass of `10.0 g`. Silver has 47 electrins per atom, and its molar mass is `107.87 gmol^(-1)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`2.62xx10^(24)`
Number of atoms in 10g of silver is
`n=(6.023xx10^(23)xx10)/(107.87)=5.58xx10^(22)`
Number of electrons is `47n=2.62xx10^(24)`.
