A system consists of electrons and protons only. It contains 150 electrons and has a total charge of +22e. What is the mass of the system? me=9.11 x 10^â31kg, mp=1.673 x 10^â27kg.

Respuesta :

According to the statements the number of electrons is 150, then

e = 150

But there is a positive charge of +22e, then the number of protons would be

p = 150+172

If the mass of the electrons is

[tex]m_e = 9.11*10^{-31} kg[/tex]

And the mass of the protong is

[tex]m_p = 1.673*10^{-27}kg[/tex]

We have that the total mass of the system would be

[tex]m = e*m_e +pm_p[/tex]

[tex]m = 150 * (9.11*10^{-31})+170(1.673*10^{-27})[/tex]

[tex]m = 2.84547*10^{-25} kg[/tex]
