Vedclass · Answer

(A) The Faraday constant $(F)$ is defined as the charge carried by one mole of electrons. Its value is approximately $96485 \ C \ mol^{-1}$. It is a universal physical constant and does not depend on the current passed,the equivalent weight,or the number of electrons involved in a specific reaction. However,in the context of Faraday's laws of electrolysis,the total charge $(Q)$ passed is given by $Q = I 	imes t$,where $I$ is the current and $t$ is time. The amount of substance deposited is related to the charge passed divided by the Faraday constant. Given the options provided,the statement that it is a numerical constant is the most accurate description.
