You have a container filled with 12 moles of neutral lithium. How much negative electric charge is contained in the electrons of all the lithium atoms in the container

Respuesta :

Answer:

3469248 C

Explanation:

Avogadro’s number represent the number of the constituent particles which are present in one mole of the substance. It is named after scientist Amedeo Avogadro and is denoted by [tex]N_0[/tex].

Avogadro constant:-

[tex]N_a=6.023\times 10^{23}[/tex]

Thus, number of atoms of lithium in 12 moles = [tex]12\times 6.023\times 10^{23}[/tex]

Also, 1 atom of lithium has 3 electrons.

So, number of electrons in 12 moles of lithium atoms = [tex]3\times 12\times 6.023\times 10^{23}[/tex]

Charge on 1 electron = [tex]1.6\times 10^{-19}C[/tex]

So,

Total negative charge = [tex]3\times 12\times 6.023\times 10^{23}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C[/tex] = 3469248 C
