What is the quantity of electric charge carried by one mole of electrons (Faraday constant F)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Approximately 96,500 Coulombs
- Step 1: The charge on one electron is e = 1.602 x 10^(-19) C. Step 2. One mole contains Avogadro's number of electrons: F = N_A e = (6.022 x 10^23)(1.602 x 10^(-19)) approx 96,485 C (standard rounded to 96,500 C/mol). Answer: Approximately 96,500 Coulombs. Why not the others:* 6.02 x 10^23 is Avogadro's number without electron charge; 1.60 x 10^(-19) C is charge of a single electron; 9,650 C divides by 10.
