A cup contains 250g of water. find number of positive charges present in the cup of water?

A cup of water contains 250 gram of water. As the density of pure water is unity (in CGS unit system) therefore, the number of moles of water in 250 gram of water will be,
n=250 gmmolar wt. of waterH2On=250 gm2×1+1×16n=250 gm18n=13.88 moles

As we know that,
1 mole=6.023×1023 number of H2O molecules
Therefore,
 250 g water will have 13.88×6.023×1023 number of molecules of H2O=8.36×1024 number of molecules of water
Since, one water molecule contains 2 hydrogen atoms (that is 2 protons) and an oxygen atom (that is 8 protons).
Therefore,
Total number of protons in water molecule is=10Total number of electrons=10 (as water is nuetral in nature)
 
So 250 g water will consists of 10×8.36×1024=8.36×1025 number of protons.
As we know that the charge on proton is,
p=1.6×10-19 C
Therefore, the total positive charge of 250 g water will be,
 q=1.6×10-19×8.36×1025 Cq=13.37×106 Cq=13.3 MC
So a cup of 250 gms of water consists of 13.3 Mega coulomb of positive and negative charge, so that the overall charge is zero.
