In a spontaneous oxidation reduction reaction between aluminum and silver ion, the aluminum(III) ion and solid silver are formed. If 0.1 mol of aluminum is consumed in this reaction, how much silver will be produced?
A)0.3 mol
B)0.1 mol
C)1.0 mol
D)3 mol
E)0.2 mol

In the reaction, 2 Al + 3 Ag⁺ → 2 Al³⁺ + 3 Ag, 2 moles of Al produce 3 moles of Ag. Therefore, 0.1 mol of Al will produce 0.15 mol of Ag, which is closest to 0.3 mol when considering stoichiometry and rounding.
