Faraday's first law (mass deposited) (w = M I t / (n F) mass in grams when M in g/mol)
jee-mainjee-advancedneet-ug
w = M I t / (n F) mass in grams when M in g/mol
What each symbol means
| Symbol | What it stands for |
|---|---|
| F | 96485 C mol⁻¹ |
| I | Current (A) |
| M | Molar mass (g mol⁻¹) |
| Q | I t, charge passed (C) |
| n | Electrons per ion (charge number for M^n+) |
| t | Time (s) |
| w | Mass of substance produced or consumed at one electrode (g) |
When to use this
100% current efficiency; single product at that electrode.
