Homework Statement
What is the charge in coulomb on 1 gram of N3- ions
2. The attempt at a solution
the atomic mass of nitrogen is 14 gram.
hence 14 g nitrogen will contain 6.022*10^23 ions.
therefore 1 g nitrogen will contain n=6.022*10^23/14 no. of ions.
one N3- ion has a charge of q=4.8*10^-19 C.
so n ions of N3- will carry a charge of n*q C= 2.065*10^4 C
But this answer is wrong. Where am I going wrong?
Does 14 g nitrogen contain Avogadro's no. of atoms?
