A cup contains 250 g of water. The number of negative charges . . .

Question : How much positive and negative charge is there in a cup of water?

Doubt by Palak


Solution :
Let us assume that mass of water in a cup will be 250 g

Molecular Mass of Water (H2O) is 18 u
So mass of 1 mole of water molecule is 18 g
No. of moles = Given Mass / Molar Mass
n = 250/18
No. Molecules in 1 moles = 6.02×1023.
∴ No. of molecules of Water in (250/18) moles
= (250/18)×6.02×1023

 In 1 molecules of water, there would be 10(2×1+8) Positive charge (Protons) and 10 Negative charge (electrons).  


Total Number of Positive and Negative charge in a cup of water (N)
= (250/18)×6.02×1023×10

∴ Both will have same magnitude. 
So, Magnitude of each type of charge (q)
=Ne
= (250/18)×6.02×1023×10×1.6×10-19
= 1.34×107C

Similar Question : 

A cup contains 250 g of water. The number of negative charges present in the cup of water is 
a) 1.34 × 107 C
b) 1.34 × 1019 C
c) 3.34 × 107 C
d) 1.34 × 10-19 C
