faraday
Mole of electrons
A faraday is a unit of electric charge used in electrochemistry, equal to the amount of charge carried by one mole of electrons—approximately 96,485 coulombs.
It represents the quantity of electricity needed to deposit or liberate one gram equivalent of a substance during electrolysis: The reaction required two faradays of charge. (Capitalized Faraday refers to the physicist Michael Faraday.)
