Method Details

calculateMassDeposited

public static double calculateMassDeposited(double charge,
 double molarMass,
 int valence)

Calculates mass of substance deposited/liberated. m = (Q * M) / (n * F)

Parameters:

charge - Total electric charge (Coulombs)

molarMass - Molar mass (g/mol) - Note: Input as simple double for calculation

valence - n (electrons per ion)

Returns:

Mass deposited (grams)

calculateChargeRequired

public static double calculateChargeRequired(double mass,
 double molarMass,
 int valence)

Calculates electric charge required to deposit a mass. Q = (m * n * F) / M

Parameters:

mass - Mass (grams)

molarMass - Molar mass (g/mol)

valence - n

Returns:

Charge (Coulombs)
