How much positive and negative charge is there in a cup of water?

Suppose the cup contains 250 cc of water.
Mass of 250 cmof water = 250 g
Molecular weight of water = 18 g
No. of molecules in 18 g of water = 6.023 X 1023
No. of molecules in 250 g of water = 6.023 X 1023 X 25018
As each molecule of water contains 10 electrons, therefore, total no. of electrons, 
n = 10 X 6.023 X 1023 X 25018 = 8.365 X 1025As q = neq = 8.365 X 1025 X 1.6 X 10-19 C= 1.338 X 107 C
