Amount of water ionized in lightning
Background: A strong lighting bolt transfers an electric charge of about 28 degree C to earth. The total electrons transferred in the process are 1.7478e20. (Assuming one mole of water has a mass of 17.9g/mol).
Question:
If each water molecule donates one electron, how much water (in units g) is ionized in the lighting?
