Detailed Solution

One molecule of water (H2O) contains 2 + 8 i.e., 10 electrons. Number of molecules in 1 g of water,

n=Avogadro  numberAtomic  weight=6.02×102318=3.344×1022

Therefore, number of electrons in l g of water,

n'=n×10=3.344×1022×10=3.344×1023

The negative charge possessed by 1 g of water,

q=n'e=3.344×1023×1.6×1019=5.35×104C
