From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator estimates the electrical charge based on moles of electrons, moles of analyte, and Faraday's constant.
Purpose: It helps chemists and physicists determine the charge involved in electrochemical reactions.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The moles of electrons are multiplied by moles of analyte and Faraday's constant to calculate the total charge.
Details: Accurate charge calculation is essential for understanding electrochemical processes, battery design, and electrolysis experiments.
Tips: Enter the moles of electrons and moles of analyte. Both values must be > 0. Faraday's constant is fixed at 96485.33212 C/mol.
Q1: What is Faraday's constant?
A: It's the electric charge carried by one mole of electrons (approximately 96485 C/mol).
Q2: How do I determine moles of electrons?
A: From the balanced half-reaction equation for the electrochemical process.
Q3: Can this calculator be used for electrolysis?
A: Yes, it can calculate the charge required for electrolysis processes.
