Answer

$n = 5.86 \times 10^{28} m^{-3}$

Work Step by Step

For silver, $M = 107.870 g/mol$ $\rho = 10.49 kg/m^3$ Avogadro number $N_A = 6.022 \times 10^{23}/mol$ The formula for number density $n = \frac{\rho}{M_0}$ Where $M_0 = \frac{M}{N_A}$ $M_0 = \frac{107.870 g/mol}{6.022 \times 10^{23}/mol}$ $M_0 = 1.791 \times 10^{-25} kg$ Solve for n $n = \frac{10.49 kg/m^3}{1.791 \times 10^{-25} kg}$ $n = 5.86 \times 10^{28} m^{-3}$
