Solution in Detail
$\displaystyle \underline{\underline{\text{Part (i)}}}$
Mass of 1 electron = $\displaystyle 9.1 \times 10^{-31} $ kg
i.e., = $\displaystyle 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 1000 \text{ grams}$
i.e., = $\displaystyle 9.1 \times 10^{-28} \text{ grams}$
by unitary $\displaystyle 9.1 \times 10^{-28} \text{ g} \equiv $ 1 electron
$\displaystyle \implies 1 \text{ g} \equiv \frac{1}{9.1 \times 10^{-28}}$ electrons
$\displaystyle = 1.099 \times 10^{27} \text{ electrons}\:\underline{Ans}$
$\displaystyle \underline{\underline{\text{Part (ii)}}}$
1 mol electron = $\displaystyle 6.023 \times 10^{23}$ electrons
Mass of 1 electron = $\displaystyle 9.1 \times 10^{-31} $ kg
∴ of 1 mol = $\displaystyle 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times (6.023 \times 10^{23})$ kg
= $\displaystyle 5.48 \times 10^{-7} \text{ kg} \:\underline{Ans}$
Charge on 1 electron = $\displaystyle 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C}$
∴ of 1 mol = $\displaystyle 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times (6.023 \times 10^{23})$ C
= $\displaystyle 9.64 \times 10^{4} \text{ C} \:\underline{Ans}$
