SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the number of electrons in a 13.0 g silver pin, utilizing its molar mass of 107.87 g/mole and the fact that silver has 47 electrons per atom. The correct calculation involves determining the number of moles of silver using the formula (mass of the pin)/(molar mass), followed by multiplying by Avogadro's number (6.022E23 atoms/mole) and the number of electrons per atom. The final result is 3.41E24 electrons in the silver pin.
