Marks: +1, -0
(i) Calculate the total number of electrons present in one mole of methane.
(ii) Find (a) the total number and (b) the total mass of neutrons in 7 mg of 14C\,{}^{14}\mathrm{C}. (Assume that mass of a neutron = 1.675 × 102710^{-27} kg).
(iii) Find (a) the total number and (b) the total mass of protons in 34 mg of NH3\mathrm{NH}_3 at STP. Will the answer change if the temperature and pressure are changed?
Solution:  
(i) Total number of electrons present in one mole of CH4
= 6 × 6.022 × 102310^{23} + 4 × 6.022 × 102310^{23} = 36.132 × 102310^{23} + 24.088 × 102310^{23}
= 6.022 × 102410^{24} electrons
(ii) We know that, p + n = A
6 + n = 14 [Since e = p = Z]
n = 14 – 6 = 8
Now, 1 mole of 14C\,{}^{14}\mathrm{C} = 14 g of C = 6.022 × 102310^{23} atoms of 14C\,{}^{14}\mathrm{C}
= 6.022 × 102310^{23} × 8 neutrons = 4.8176 × 102410^{24} neutrons
(a) 14 g of 14C\,{}^{14}\mathrm{C} contains = 4.8176 × 102410^{24} neutrons
7 mg (7 × 10310^{-3} g) of 14C\,{}^{14}\mathrm{C} contains = 4.8176×7×10314\frac{4.8176 \times 7 \times 10^{-3}}{14} neutrons
= 2.4088 × 102110^{21} neutrons
(b) Mass of a neutron = 1.675 × 102710^{-27} kg
Mass of 2.4088 × 102110^{21} neutrons = 1.675 × 102710^{-27} × 2.4088 × 102110^{21}
= 4.0347 × 10610^{-6} kg
(iii) (a) 17 g of NH3\mathrm{NH}_3 has 10 × 6.022 × 102310^{23} electrons or protons = 6.022 × 102410^{24}
34 mg (34 × 10310^{-3} g) of NH3\mathrm{NH}_3 has protons = 6.022×102417×34×103\frac{6.022 \times 10^{24}}{17} \times 34 \times 10^{-3}
= 1.2044 × 102210^{22} protons
(b) Mass of a proton = 1.675 × 102710^{-27} kg
Total mass of protons in 34 × 10310^{-3} g = 1.2044 × 102210^{22} × 1.675 × 102710^{-27} kg
= 2.017 × 10510^{-5} kg
The answer will not change if the temperature and pressure are changed.
