Abstract

SummaryThe Faraday constant is directly related to the fundamental electronic charge. Descriptive and mathematical statements of Faraday's First and Second Laws of Electrolysis are provided. It is shown how these Laws may be combined into a single expression which summarises the equivalence between the amounts of chemical change and electrical energy involved in an electrochemical reaction. The concept of current efficiency is introduced and important considerations prior to the application of Faraday's Laws are highlighted.
