Homework Statement


Excess electrons are placed on lead sphere with mass m=8.00g so that net charge becomes q=-3.20*10^-9 C.

How many excess electrons are there per lead atom?


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



Have found:

number of excess electrons= 2.00*10^10

atomic number of lead=82
atomic mass of lead= 207g/mol

207g=6.623x10^23 atoms... 8g =? atoms. You have the excess electrons, and now the number of atoms of lead in an 8 g sphere...
