Magnesium powder is added to excess silver nitrate solution. Magnesium atoms are oxidised to Mg2+\mathrm{Mg^{2+}}Mg2+ ions and silver ions, Ag+\mathrm{Ag^{+}}Ag+, are reduced to silver atoms. 0.12 g of magnesium reacts completely.

Relative atomic masses: Mg = 24, Ag = 108

What is the maximum mass of silver formed?

[1]
A

0.27 g
