Covalent bonds do not involve electron transfer because in covalent bonds, the electrons are shared between the atoms to form the molecule rather than being transferred to form ions as it is in the case of ionic bonds.<span />
First write out the balanced equation. 3Cu+2Ag(NO3)3=2Ag+3Cu(NO3)2
Then convert copper from grams to moles
15 g*1 mol cu/63.54 g= 15/63.54 mol cu
Then use the mole ratio to convert Moles Cu to Moles Ag
15/63.54 moles Cu* 2 moles Ag/3 moles Cu
The final awnser is (15*2)/(63.54*3) moles Ag =0.157 moles Ag. If the question wants the answer in grams, convert from moles Ag to grams Ag.
0.157 moles Ag*107.87 g Ag/ mol Ag=16.98 g Ag
