Suppose a 1.68 g nugget of pure gold has zero net charge. What would be its net charge after it has 1% of its electrons removed?
Answer in C
Mass
Electric charge of proton = 1.602e-19 C 1.673e-27 kg
Electric charge of electron = -1.602e-19 C 9.109e-31 kg
Electron charge of neutron = 0 1.675e-27 kg
I have attempted one answer of 1.602e-21 C, but I am really confused at how to obtain the solution. I know this is supposed to be an easy problem, but I am just confused. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
