A strong lightning bolt transfers an electric charge of about 31 C to Earth (or vice versa). How many electrons are transferred?

Avogadro’s number is 6.022 × 1023 /mol, and the elemental charge is 1.602 × 10−19 C.If each water molecule donates one electron, how much water is ionized in the lightning? One mole of water has a mass of 18 g/mol. Answer in units of g.

Answer:

m=5.78\times 10^{-3}\ g

n_e=1.935\times 10^{20} is the no. of electrons

Explanation:

Given:

  • quantity of charge transferred, Q=31\ C

<u>No. of electrons in the given amount of charge:</u>

As we have charge on one electron 1.602\times 10^{-19}\ C

so,

n_e=\frac{Q}{e}

n_e=\frac{31}{1.602\times 10^{-19}}

n_e=1.935\times 10^{20} is the no. of electrons

  • Now if each water molecules donates one electron:

Then we require n=1.935\times 10^{20} molecules.

<u>Now the no. of moles in this many molecules:</u>

n_m=\frac{n}{N_A}

where

N_A=6.022\times 10^{23} Avogadro No.

n_m=\frac{1.935\times 10^{20}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}

n_m=3.213\times 10^{-4}\ moles

  • We have molecular mass of water as M=18 g/mol.

<u>So, the mass of water in the obtained moles:</u>

n_m=\frac{m}{M}

where:

m = mass in gram

3.213\times 10^{-4}=\frac{m}{18}

m=5.78\times 10^{-3}\ g

A barrel of oil is exactly 42 gal. how many liters of oil are in a barrel
Natali [406]
The conversion from gallons to liters is 1 = 3.785.

Keeping this in mind...

42 x 3.785 = 158.97 liters.

If rounding, there are about 159 liters of oil in a barrel.
