Faraday constant
Information about Faraday constant
In physics and chemistry, the Faraday constant is the amount of electric charge in one mole of electrons. The Faraday constant was named after British scientist Michael Faraday. It is used in electrolytic system calculations to determine the mass of a chemical species that will collect at an electrode.
It has the symbol F, and is given by
The value of F was first determined by weighing the amount of silver deposited in an electrochemical reaction in which a measured current was passed for a measured time. This value was used to calculate Avogadro's number. Research is continuing into more accurate ways of determining F, and thereby NA. There are plans to use this value to redefine the kilogram in terms of a known number of atoms. [Source: NPL Annual Review 1999]

The mole (symbol: mol) is the SI base unit that measures an amount of substance. One mole contains Avogadro's number (approximately 6.0221023) entities.
A mole is much like "a dozen" in that both are absolute numbers (having no units) and can describe any type of
