Water has a mass per mole of 18.0 g/mol, and each water molecule (h2o) has 10 electrons. (a) how many electrons are there in 7.74 liters of water? (1 liter is equivalent to 1.00 × 10-3 m3) (b) what is the net charge of all these electrons?

Respuesta :

Answer: a) [tex]2.58\times 10^{27}[/tex] electrons are present is 7.74 L of water.

b)[tex]2.7\times 10^{8} Coulombs[/tex] is the net charge of all these electrons

Explanation:

a) Molar mass of the water = 18 g/mol

Volume of water = 7.74 L

Density of water = 1000 g/L

Mass of water in 7.74 L of water :

[tex]density=1000 g/L=\frac{mass}{volume}=\frac{mass}{7.74 L}[/tex]

Mass of the water = 7740 g

Moles of water =[tex]\frac{\text{mass of water}}{\text{molar mass of water}}=\frac{7740 g}{18 g/mol}=430 moles[/tex]

[tex]1 mol=6.022\times 10^{23} [/tex]molecules

Number of water molecules in 430 moles:

[tex]430\times 6.022\times 10^{23} =2.58\times 10^{26}[/tex]molecules

1 molecule water contains = 10 electrons

Then[tex]2.58\times 10^{26} molecules=2.58\times 10^{26}\times 10=2.58\times 10^{27}[/tex] electrons

[tex]2.58\times 10^{27}[/tex] electrons are present is 7.74 L of water.

b) The net charge of all these [tex]2.58\times 10^{27}[/tex] electrons:

Charge on 1 electron =[tex]-1.602\times 10^{-19} Coulombs[/tex]

The net charge of all these [tex]2.58\times 10^{27}[/tex] electrons:

[tex]2.58\times 10^{27}\times 1.602\times 10^{-19} C=2.7\times 10^{8} Coulombs[/tex]

[tex]2.7\times 10^{8} Coulombs[/tex] is the net charge of all these electrons
