In copper, there are about 13,600 coulombs of "charge" per cc (see ref. 1), meaning the number of free electrons is about 13,000 * 6.241506*10^18. Per ref. 2, the number of free electrons per unit volume = number of free electrons per atom * Avogadro's number * density / atomic mass, and copper is said to have 1 free electron per atom.
Now let's put numbers to Ref. 2's formula to check ref. 1's 13,600 coulombs/cc.
Avogadro = 6.0221415E+23
ElectronsPerCoulomb = 6.241506E+18
CuAtMass = 63.546
CuDensity = 8.92
ElectronsPerCC = Avogadro * CuDensity / CuAtMass =
8.453E+22
CoulombsPerCC = ElectronsPerCC / ElectronsPerCoulomb = 13544
Pretty close! You can figure the corresponding numbers, including charge content in coulomb/cc, for silver knowing Its atomic mass = 107.868, density = 10.49 g/cc, and the fact that like copper, the noble metals, which include silver, are said to have 1 free electron per atom.
But as the discussion in ref. 1 suggests, for various reasons the average number of free electrons per atom may be less than the theoretical value of 1, so these charge content numbers should be thought of as an upper limit.

Hm... properly, yeah, logically which could were more advantageous positive. yet Harry replaced into in Gryffindor,bold, nerve and chivalry set gryffindors aside, no longer Ravenclaw, the sensible ones which could have concept-about that, lol. also, the floor of the lake/pond replaced into frozen, so it may have taken a lengthy time period to get melt the ice, and then commence warming the water less than, and it replaced into wintry climate time, and it replaced into freezing outdoors, so i don't know if Harry would have finished a lot, he would have melted particularly the ice, yet i imagine it replaced into so chilly outdoors, that he couldn't have finished a lot. i'm certain there's a more advantageous effective spell to make warmth come out of the end of your wand, somewhat like the single Hermione used to soften a number of the snow, notwithstanding the element is, it truly is more advantageous of a Hermione-ish spell, in case you get me. Harry would no longer have taken a lot time to entice close it, and Harry is chivalrous so he did not go ask Hermione to finish this interest for him. i wager you're correct although he would were able to do something to make the priority somewhat more advantageous positive, notwithstanding it does no longer were very exiting in case you examine "Harry sat via the pond for an hour warming the water" could it? besides, i wager Harry replaced into courageous to go plunging into the chilly water, and it made for a very exiting tale. and regardless of if he had warmed the water first, the locket could have tried to strangle him, yet in warmth water, it does no longer have had an similar element. properly finished for questioning this one out, yet i don't think of Harry replaced into one of those guy to attend till the water replaced into warmth and smooth before retrieving the sword, he replaced into bold, courageous and chivalrous, a gryffindor, and under no circumstances a sensible ravenclaw who could have concept it out. :) staggering question, i will celeb it.
