Answer

$q=-1.32\times10^{13} C$

Work Step by Step

We know that $q=-ne ..........eq (1)$ the negative sign indicates that the charge on electrons is negative $n= \frac{m}{m_e}$ where 'm' is given mass and '$m_e$' is the mass of an electron So: $n=\frac{75}{9.11\times10^{-31}}=8.23\times10^{31}$ Plugging in the known values, we obtain: $q=-8.23\times10^{31}\times1.6\times10^{-19}$ $q=-1.32\times10^{13} C$
