There are 0.625 x 1019   electron in 1 Coulomb of negative charge.Group of answer choicesTrueFalse

To determine whether the statement "There are 0.625 x 10^19 electrons in 1 Coulomb of negative charge" is true or false, we need to calculate the number of electrons in 1 Coulomb of charge.

Break Down the Problem

1. Understand the relationship between charge and the number of electrons.
2. Use the fundamental charge of an electron.

Relevant Concepts

• Charge of one electron: $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ Coulombs}$

Analysis and Detail

1. We need to find the number of electrons ($n$) in 1 Coulomb of charge: $n = \frac{\text{Total Charge}}{\text{Charge of one electron}} = \frac{1 \text{ C}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C/electron}}$
2. Performing the calculation: $n = \frac{1}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \approx 6.25 \times 10^{18} \text{ electrons}$

Verify and Summarize

The calculated number of electrons in 1 Coulomb is approximately $6.25 \times 10^{18}$, which is greater than $0.625 \times 10^{19}$.

Final Answer

The statement is False. There are approximately $6.25 \times 10^{18}$ electrons in 1 Coulomb of negative charge.
