First calculate for number of moles:

moles Ag = 12 g / (107.87 g / mol)

moles Ag = 0.111 mol

 

Convert to atoms using Avogadros number:

atoms Ag = 0.111 mol * (6.022 x 10^23 atoms / mol)

atoms Ag = 6.7 x 10^22 atoms

 

There are 47 electrons per atom, therefore:

Number of electrons = (6.7 x 10^22 atoms) * (47 electrons / atom)

Number of electrons = 3.15 x 10^24 electrons
