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.
