Chapter 8, Problem 8.6E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given expression is to be numerically explained.

Concept introduction:

Faraday’s constant is defined as the charge per mole of electrons. This has a fixed value. This is used in the electrolysis process. Using Faraday’s constant, the amount of element oxidized can be determined. The formula for Faraday’s constant is given below.

$f=e{N}_{\text{A}}$

In the above equation, $e$ is the charge on electron and $N_{\text{A}}$ is the ratio of number of particles to the amount of substance in terms of moles.
