The Faraday constant F = 96500 C mol⁻¹ represents:
AThe cell potential of a standard cell
BThe current required for electrolysis
CThe charge on one mole of electrons (N_A × e = 6.022 × 10²³ × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C)
DThe charge on a single electron
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. The charge on one mole of electrons (N_A × e = 6.022 × 10²³ × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C)
**1 Faraday (F) = charge on 1 mole of electrons = N_A × e = 6.022 × 10²³ × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ ≈ 96485 C ≈ 96500 C mol⁻¹**.
