Moles of Analyte Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator determines the quantity of an analyte in moles based on the charge passed and moles of electrons involved in the reaction.
Purpose: It's essential for electrochemistry calculations, helping scientists and students determine analyte quantities in redox reactions.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The charge is divided by the product of moles of electrons and Faraday's constant to determine the moles of analyte.
Details: Accurate determination of analyte moles is crucial for stoichiometric calculations in electrochemistry, battery research, and corrosion studies.
Tips: Enter the charge in Coulombs and moles of electrons involved in the reaction. Both values must be > 0.
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: It's based on the balanced redox reaction equation - the stoichiometric coefficient of electrons.
Q3: What units should I use for charge?
A: The calculator expects charge in Coulombs (C). 1 Ampere-second = 1 Coulomb.
Q4: Can this be used for multiple analytes?
A: The calculation is for a single analyte. For multiple analytes, perform separate calculations.
Q5: How precise is this calculation?
A: Very precise, as it uses the defined value of Faraday's constant to 8 decimal places.
