Always remember that a charge-balance equation is based on the equality in molar charge concentrations and that to obtain the charge concentration of an ion, you must multiply the molar concentration of the ion by its charge. 

Electrochemistry refers to the conversion of electrical (chemical) information and energy into chemical (electrical) information and energy, the interconnection being anchored in the central thermodynamic quantity, the electrochemical potential (of a species k) (1 = Pt + where p is the chemical potential, z F the molar charge, and ( ) the electrical potential. 

Note that jli, Eq. 10, includes the species standard chemical potential, an activity term, and an electrical energy term. The electrical term is composed of the electrical work required to bring the molar charge ZiF on a given ionic species from infinity into the species phase, and (]) is the standard iimer potential or work function of the phase in question (e.g., that of the metal, ( )m, or of a particular ion in solution, 0s) (Ref. 21, p. 20). 

The electrochemical potential is used to describe the equilibrium of charged particles. It arises naturally from the fact that when a charged particle enters or leaves the system, it takes its charge with it. Thus the molar charge Q in the system remains constant, and we have U(S, V, Q, n) as the energy function, where Q = nQ. 

The two equations in Eq. (5.24) are coupled because the increase of particles in the system is indispensably coupled with an increase of charge. However, we have the molar charge constant. Therefore, we get for constant S, V, Q, n ... 

Where zF is the molar charge transferred during the electrodeposition process and D is the diffusion coefficient of the electrodepositing species in the bulk of the solution. The same current also causes the growth of the deposit, thus, following Faraday s law ... 

The symbol Ci (in mol cm" ) denotes aU the concentrations of ions contained in the solution considered. F is the molar charge (in As mol ), also known as the Faraday constant. 

In the course of a redox reaction, a certain amount of electric charge C quantity of electricity ) is transferred from one partner to the other. For standardized conditions, this amount of charge can be calculated if we know the number of moles of electrons z which are transferred in the reaction. This number multiphed by the molar charge (or Faraday number) F = 96 500 A s moU yields the desired amount of charge q ...
