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 :

Answer:

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

The charge of the material is  4.8 x 10⁸ C

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
