That depends on what you consider a charge.
Electrons/protons?
Compute approx. number of molecules, multiply by 10 for positive or negative charges.
Water dipols?
Compute approx. number of molecules for positive or negative charges.
Ions/Anions? (Technically, this is not part of water, but salt solutions within it)
Don't know how many milligrams of salt there is in an average cup of water.

What causes a substance to have a positive charge?
the object has to have more positive charges than negative charges.
What do you call the particle with more positive charges than negative charges?
This would be called a CATION.
Does an atom have more positive charges than negative charges?
No , an atom always has equal numbers of protons and electrons. If it has more charges of one kind than another is called an ion. Obviously this is caused by the number of protons and electrons compared to each other. If it has more positive charges, it has more protons than electrons, making it a positive ion. If it is a negative charge, it has more electrons than protons, it is a negative ion.
Can ion have a positive and negative charge?
An ion is either a positive charged or a negative charged atom. Negative ions have one or more extra electrons, and positive ones have one or more electrons not there.
What are the positive charges in an atom?
It means it has more protons (positive charge) and neutrons (no charge) than electrons (negative charge). This gives it an overall positive charge.
What causes a substance to have a positive charge?
the object has to have more positive charges than negative charges.
Do positive objects contain only positive charges?
No. A positive ion merely has more positive charges (protons) than negative charges (electrons).
What do you call the particle with more positive charges than negative charges?
This would be called a CATION.

If it is a negative charge, it has more electrons than protons, it is a negative ion.
Does a ion contain one or more positive or negative charges?
yes. an oxygen ion contaiins 2- charges.
How does an atom achieve a positive charge?
by loosing one or more electrons then it is an ion
Do opposite charges attract each other?
If the atoms have opposite charges (positive to negative) they will attract. If the atoms have the same charges (positive to positive or negative to negative) then they will repel. You can look at the Law of Electric Charges to get more information on this.
Can ion have a positive and negative charge?
An ion is either a positive charged or a negative charged atom. Negative ions have one or more extra electrons, and positive ones have one or more electrons not there.
What does positive and negative charges make?
They stem from the nucleus of an atom. The atom is composed of electrons, which emit a negative charge, protons which emit positive charges and neutrons which have a neutral charge. When an atom, had a plus positive or minus negative charged, it is called an ion. ion because it either has an extra electron giving it a negative charge, or its missing an electron, giving it a positive charge
What are the positive charges in an atom?
It means it has more protons (positive charge) and neutrons (no charge) than electrons (negative charge). This gives it an overall positive charge.
What does the symbol Al3 plus tell you?
AL has 3 more negative charges than positive ones
Is there any negative charge on a positive charged object?
Any "object" larger than elementary particles consists of positive and negative charges. If your object has a negative charge, it simply has more particles with a negative charge than particles with a positive charge.
