Lesson: The Faraday Constant Chemistry

Start Practising

In this lesson, we will learn how to use the Faraday constant to calculate the mass or volume of substances liberated during electrolysis.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

explain the relationship between charge, current, and time,
link electricity and simple electrical laws to the Avogadro constant,
explain the Faraday constant in terms of the Avogadro constant and the charge on one electron,
use the quantity of charge passed to calculate the mass or volume of substance liberated.
