Detailed Solution

An ebonite rod, when rubbed with wool, acquires a negative charge of 4.0×10-9C. Then 2.5×1010 number of free electrons can constitute this much charge.
Here,                                                                                                                                                                                        Charge on ebonite rod, Q= -4.0×10-9C                                                                                 and charge on an electron, e= -1.60×10-19C                                                                    Therefore we get, Number of free electrons in ebonite rod,
    n=Qe.                                                                                 n=-4.0×10-9-1.60×10-19                                                                                                                                 n=2.5×1010.
