One Faraday equals the charge on
AOne gram of silver
BOne coulomb
COne mole of hydrogen atoms
DOne mole of electrons
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. One mole of electrons
1. 1 F is the charge carried by 1 mole of electrons.
2. Numerically, 1 F ≈ 96500 C mol⁻¹.
3. This connects electrical (charge) and chemical (moles) quantities.
4. It appears throughout electrolysis, Nernst equation and battery calculations.
