Electrochemical equivalent from molar mass and valence

Faraday’s second law of electrolysis. The equivalent mass of a substance in general in chemistry is its molar mass divided by an integer depending on the chemical reaction in which the substance participates; in this case, the equivalent is the molar mass of the substance formed during ion discharge divided by the sum of the ion charges (measured in elementary units), resulting in a molecule or atom of the substance.
