How many coulombs of positive charge are in 1.91 mol of O2 gas?

AI Thread Summary
To find the total coulombs of positive charge in 1.91 mol of O2 gas, the calculation begins with determining the number of protons, which is 1.1502x10^24 protons based on Avogadro's number. The user initially attempted to convert protons to coulombs using the conversion factor of 6.25x10^18 protons per coulomb but encountered an error. After some confusion, the user resolved the issue independently. The discussion highlights the importance of accurate unit conversion in charge calculations.

Homework Statement



How many coulombs of positive charge are in 1.91 mol of O2 gas?

Homework Equations



1 mol = 6.022x10^23 protons
q=Ne

The Attempt at a Solution



so 1.91 mols x 6.022x10^23 = 1.1502x10^24 protons

I divided that by 6.25x10^18 protons in one coulomb, but I got the wrong answer. Where am I going wrong?

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
