Hi,
I've tried to work out the specific charge of this multiple choice question and apparently got it wrong:
A calcium ion is formed by removing two electrons from an atom of Ca (20 protons, 20 neutrons). What is the specific charge?
I did (2*1.60*10^-19)/(40*1.67*10^-27) and got a specific charge of 4.8*10^6 C kg^-1 however it should have been 3.2*10^-19 C kg^-1.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks.
