Electrochemical equivalent from molar mass and valence¶

Faraday’s second law of electrolysis states that if the same amount of electricity is passed through different electrolytes, the masses of ions deposited at the electrodes are directly proportional to their chemical equivalents.

Notations:

\(\mathfrak{F}\) (F) is faraday_constant.
