QUESTION:
A system of 1525 particles, each of which is either an electron or a proton, has a net charge of \(-5.456 \times 10^{-17} \mathrm{C}\). (a) How many electrons are in this system?(b) What is the mass of this system?
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 5
Here we need to calculate the number of electrons in the given system and the mass of the system which has \(N=1525\) particles. Whether the particle may be an electron or a proton. The net charge of the system is \(Q=-5.456 \times 10^{-17} C\).
Given,
Net charge, \(Q=-5.456 \times 10^{-17} C\)
Number of particles, \(N=1525\) particles
Charge, \(e=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}\)
To find,
-
Number of electrons, \(N_{e}=?\)
-
Mass of the system, \(M=?\)
