Silver reduction takes place in the following reaction: Cu + 2Ag+ -> Cu2+ + 2Ag So each mole of Cu releases 2 moles of Ag. In other words 64g of copper release 216 g of silver. Let’s make a proportion: 64 g Cu ---- 216 g Ag 3 g Cu ---- X g Ag X = (3×216)/64 = 10.125 (g) Answer 10,125 g of silver that can be prepared from 3.00 g of copper metal.
