Chapter 17, Problem 17.13P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The percentage of current passed through to convert nickel ion into nickel has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

At any point in an electric circuit the charge q is the product of current I and time t.

$\text{q}\text{=}\text{I}·\text{t}$

The unit of q is Coulombs, I is Ampere and t is seconds.

$\text{q}\text{=}\text{moles}\text{of}\text{electrons}\text{×}\text{Faraday}\text{constant}$
