How this Calculator Works
This calculator allows you to solve Electrolysis problems dynamically. Adjust the input parameters using the sliders or selection menu below:
- Current (I, A) (Range: 0.1 to 50.0, Default: 5.0)
- Time (t, seconds) (Range: 1 to 7200, Default: 600)
- Molar Mass of Substance (M, g/mol) (Range: 1.00 to 250.00, Default: 63.55)
- Valence of Ion (z) (Range: 1 to 4, Default: 2)
The results are computed instantly and updated in the results panel on the right.
Formula & Methodology
m = (I * t * M) / (z * F)
where F = 96,485 C/mol (Faraday's constant)
where F = 96,485 C/mol (Faraday's constant)
Where:
- Current: Parameter value.
- Time: Parameter value.
- Molar Mass of Substance: Parameter value.
- Valence of Ion: Parameter value.
Step-by-Step Calculation Example
To calculate Electrolysis manually, follow these steps:
- Identify the input parameters. For example:
- Current (I, A) = 5.0
- Time (t, seconds) = 600
- Molar Mass of Substance (M, g/mol) = 63.55
- Valence of Ion (z) = 2
- Apply the formula:
m = (I * t * M) / (z * F)
where F = 96,485 C/mol (Faraday's constant) - Verify the calculated value which is updated instantly in the results panel on the right.
