No of moles = Total massatomic weight1gm.mol.=Aν×mA
where Av = Avagadro's Number = 6.022*1023 atoms/gm.mol.
m= mass of the gold atom.
A = Atomic weight of atom = 197 gm/mol.
From the above equation we get mass of each goldatom(m).
Total mass = Total number of atoms(n) * Mass of eachatom(m)
Given that Total mass of gold is 17.7gm.
Total number of atoms(n) = 17.7 / Mass of each atom(m)
(a)Number of protons(N) present in the given mass of gold = n *atomic number
(b)Total positive charge = Total number of protons (N)×1.6×1019
C.(c) number of electrons is equal to Number ofprotons(N).
