Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(6.02 \times 10^{24}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In \(18 \mathrm{~mL}\), number of moles of
\(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}=\frac{\text { mass of } \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}}{\text { molecular mass }}\)
\(=\frac{\text { density } \times \text { volume }}{\text { molecular mass }}\)
\(=\frac{1 \times 18}{18}=1 \mathrm{~mol}\)
\(\because\) Number of moles of \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) in \(1 \mathrm{~mol}\)
\(=6.022 \times 10^{23}\)
and number of \(\mathrm{e}^{-}\)in 1 molecule of \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
\(=1 \times 2+8=10\)
\(\therefore\) Number of \(\mathrm{e}^{-}\)in 1 mole of \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
\(=6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 10\)
\(=6.022 \times 10^{24}\)
