'For every 1 mole of copper, the reaction makes 1 mole of silver.'

Explicación

## Step 1The problem is asking us to identify the correct "for every" statement about copper and silver in a chemical reaction. The "for every" statement is a way of expressing the stoichiometry of a chemical reaction, which is the ratio of reactants to products.## Step 2The stoichiometry of a chemical reaction is determined by the balanced chemical equation. In this case, the balanced chemical equation is not given, but we can infer from the options that the reaction involves copper (Cu) and silver (Ag).## Step 3The correct "for every" statement is "For every 1 mole of copper, the reaction makes 1 mole of silver." This statement implies that the stoichiometry of the reaction is 1:1, meaning that for every mole of copper that reacts, one mole of silver is produced.## Step 4The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the stoichiometry of the reaction. For example, the statement "For every 1 mole of copper, the reaction makes 2 moles of silver" would imply a 1:2 stoichiometry, which is not the case here. Similarly, the statement "For every 1 mole of copper, the reaction uses up 2 moles of silver" would imply a 1:2 stoichiometry in the reverse direction, which is also not the case here.
