Question

Determine both the mass and the charge of a block of material consisting of 3 x 10^27 protons, 3 x 10^37 neutrons, and 3.1 x 10^27 electrons.

Answer 1

The mass of the block of material is 3 x 10³⁷ g/mol

The charge of the material is 4.8 x 10⁸ C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

number of protons of the material, P = 3 x 10²⁷

number of neutrons in the material, N = 3 x 10³⁷

number of electrons in the material, E = 3 x 10²⁷

The mass of the block of material is calculated as follows;

M = P + N

M = 3 x 10²⁷ + 3 x 10³⁷

M = 3 x 10³⁷ g/mol

The charge of the material is calculated as follows;

charge of 1 electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

charge of 3 x 10²⁷ electrons = 3 x 10²⁷ electrons x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

= 4.8 x 10⁸ C
