Calculate the amount of charge transferred when a 5 A current is used for 2 minutes during electrolysis. One faraday represents one mole of electrons. It is equal to 96, coulombs. The use of the faraday lets us work out how many moles of a substance is produced during electrolysis, provided we know the total charge transferred. The same amount of electric charge passing through the CaO cell yields only 10 moles of calcium metal and 5 moles of oxygen gas.

For exam purposes, the value of the Faraday constant is usually taken as 9.
This is another number you are unlikely to have to remember. So coulombs is called 1 faraday. Notice the small "f" when it is used as a unit.
Whenever you have an equation in which you have 1 mole of electrons, that is represented in an electrical circuit by 1 faraday of electricity - in other words, by coulombs. Note: I have said three times that a piece of information is likely to be given to you in an exam, but you need to be sure. Check your syllabus to find out what is contained in the Data Booklet you are likely to be given. You will normally find this towards the end of the syllabus.
Electrolysis calculations are no more difficult than any other calculation from an equation. In fact, you may well have done them as a part of whatever course you did before you started doing A level.
Calculate the mass of silver deposited at the cathode during the electrolysis of silver nitrate solution if you use a current of 0. The first thing to do is to work out how many coulombs of electricity flowed during the electrolysis.
So, if coulombs give g of silver, all you have to do is to work out what mass of silver would be produced by 60 coulombs. Note: If your maths is really bad, so that you aren't happy about simple proportion sums, then think of it like this:.
If coulombs give g, then 1 coulomb would give divided by g. It doesn't matter in the least how you work this out - all that matters for your chemistry is that you get the answer right! Calculate the volume of hydrogen produced measured at room temperature and pressure - rtp during the electrolysis of dilute sulphuric acid if you use a current of 1.
So, if 2 x coulombs give 24 dm 3 H 2 , work out what volume of hydrogen would be produced by coulombs. Don't quote your answer beyond 2 decimal places.
