Calculating Product Quantity from Current and Time
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
Calculating the quantity of product formed by electrolysis means converting current and time into total charge in coulombs, dividing by Faraday's constant to find moles of electrons, then using the half-reaction's electron stoichiometry to convert to moles of product, and finally to mass if needed.
Passing 5.00 A for 1.00 hour delivers charge = (5.00 A)(3600 s) = 18,000 C. Dividing by Faraday's constant, 96,485 C/mol, gives about 0.187 mol of electrons. For Cu²⁺ + 2 e⁻ → Cu, that two-electron stoichiometry yields 0.0933 mol of copper metal deposited, which converts to roughly 5.93 g using copper's molar mass.
Skipping the conversion from current and time to total charge, and dividing current directly by Faraday's constant, treats amperes as if they were coulombs already, an easy and consequential unit slip.
