Faraday charge

Anodic oxidation ui fluorosutfomc acid converts perfluoraalkyl methanols into perfluoroalkyl fluurondfates [4] (equation 42), (o-hydiododecafluorohexyl methanol can be converted to perfluorohexane-1,6-bisfluorosulfate when a higher ratio of Faraday charge per mole is applied 4] (equation 43)... 

Family. The elements in a vertical column of the periodic table. (2.4) Faraday. Charge contained in 1 mole of electrons, equivalent to 96,487 coulombs. (19.4)... 

The total charge, Q, in coulombs, passed during an electrolysis is related to the absolute amount of analyte by Faraday s law... 

Quantitative Calculations The absolute amount of analyte in a coulometric analysis is determined by applying Faraday s law (equation 11.23) with the total charge during the electrolysis given by equation 11.24 or equation 11.25. Example 11.8 shows the calculations for a typical coulometric analysis. 

Studies aimed at characterizing the mechanisms of electrode reactions often make use of coulometry for determining the number of electrons involved in the reaction. To make such measurements a known amount of a pure compound is subject to a controlled-potential electrolysis. The coulombs of charge needed to complete the electrolysis are used to determine the value of n using Faraday s law (equation 11.23). 

Faraday s law the current or charge passed in a redox reaction is proportional to the moles of the reaction s reactants and products, (p. 496)... 

Arrival of ions, which have a positive or negative charge, causes an electric current to flow either directly (Faraday cup) or indirectly (electron multiplier and scintillator detectors). 

Electrostatic Interaction. Similarly charged particles repel one another. The charges on a particle surface may be due to hydrolysis of surface groups or adsorption of ions from solution. The surface charge density can be converted to an effective surface potential, /, when the potential is <30 mV, using the foUowing equation, where -Np represents the Faraday constant and Ai the gas law constant. 

Coulomb (1736—1806) stated the law of repeUency between similarly charged bodies and attraction between oppositely charged bodies, and Faraday (1791—1867) described the laws of electrostatic iaduction. The iaductive principle known as Faraday s ice-pail method is still ia use ia modern measuting equipment.

The relationship between current flow and chemical reactions was estabUshed by Faraday who demonstrated that the amount of chemical change was directly proportional to the quantity of charge passed (//) and to the equivalent weight of the reacting material. 

Coulometry. If it can be assumed that kinetic nuances in the solution are unimportant and that destmction of the sample is not a problem, then the simplest action may be to apply a potential to a working electrode having a surface area of several cm and wait until the current decays to zero. The potential should be sufficiently removed from the EP of the analyte, ie, about 200 mV, that the electrolysis of an interferent is avoided. The integral under the current vs time curve is a charge equal to nFCl, where n is the number of electrons needed to electrolyze the molecule, C is the concentration of the analyte, 1 is the volume of the solution, and F is the Faraday constant. 

These three terms represent contributions to the flux from migration, diffusion, and convection, respectively. The bulk fluid velocity is determined from the equations of motion. Equation 25, with the convection term neglected, is frequently referred to as the Nemst-Planck equation. In systems containing charged species, ions experience a force from the electric field. This effect is called migration. The charge number of the ion is Eis Faraday s constant, is the ionic mobiUty, and O is the electric potential. The ionic mobiUty and the diffusion coefficient are related ... 

The ionic mobility is the average velocity imparted to the species under the action of a unit force (per mole), i is the stream velocity, cm/s. In the present case, the electrical force is given by the product of the electric field V in V/cm and the charge per mole, where S" is the Faraday constant in C/g equivalent and Z is the valence of the ith species. Multiplication of this force by the mobihty and the concentration C [(g mol)/cm ] yields the contribution of migration to the flux of the ith species.
