Question 5.
A cup contains 250 g of water. Find the total positive charges present in the cup of water.
(a) 1.34 × 1019 C
(b) 1.34 × 107 C
(c) 2.43 × 1019 C
(d) 2.43 × 107 C
(d) 2.43 × 107 C
Solution:
Mass of water = 250 g,
Molecular mass of water = 18 g
Number of molecules in 18 g of water = 6.02 × 1023
Number of molecules in one cup of water
= $$\frac{250}{18} \times 6.02 \times 10^{23}$$
Each molecule of water contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, i.e., 10 electrons and 10 protons.
∴ Total positive charge present in one cup of water
= $$\frac{250}{18}$$ x 6.02 x 1023 × 10 × 1.6 × 10-19C
= 1.34 × 107C
