Q.

A copper atom consists of copper nucleus surrounded by 29 electrons. The atomic weight of copper is 63.5gmol-1. Let us now take two pieces of copper each weighing 10 g. Let us transfer one electron from one piece to another for every 1000 atoms in a piece.

 The force of attraction between them when they are separated by a distance of 1cm is X.057×1016N Find X

Detailed Solution

63.5g copper contains NA=6x1023 copper atoms, therefore the number of electrons transferred, N=6×1023×1063.5×1000

Since only one electrons is transferred,  N=6×102363.5×10

q=1920127C

Separation between pieces is r =1 cm = 10-2 m One piece of copper has positive charge and the other negative charge, so force of attraction between the pieces is 

F=14πε0q1q2r2

F=9×109(1920127)×(1920127)(102)2N

F=2.057×1016N

So, x =2
