Would it not be 10 moles of silver...., approx. #1008*g#?

Explanation:

You got the stoichiometric equation....and let us put in some masses...

#underbrace(Cu(s))_"315 g" +2AgNO_3(aq) rarr Cu(NO_3)_2(aq) #

#+ underbrace(2Ag(s))_"1 kg"#

So each mole of copper, a SPECIFIC mass, REDUCES TWO moles of silver salt to give 2 equiv of silver metal....
