An italic capital F, the charge on a mole of electrons.
Also known as: Faraday constant, Big F, Charge per mole
The Faraday constant is how much charge a mole of electrons carries, and it converts between chemistry's moles and electricity's coulombs. It is the bridge that makes electroplating and battery capacity calculable from a balanced equation.
Denotes the electric charge per mole of elementary charges, used throughout electrochemistry.
Contexts: Laboratory
Converts a chemical amount to a quantity of charge, which is what makes Faraday's laws of electrolysis quantitative.
Contexts: Laboratory
Collides with force and with the farad, both also written F, and with the Helmholtz free energy in thermodynamics.
