if 1F is passed through a cell during electrolysis, how much amount of a species will be discharged at the respective electrode?
Always remember that number of faradays passed = number of equivalents discharged. It means passing 2F charge will give 2 equivalents at anode and 2 equivalents at cathode of species getting oxidised and reduced. This concept is the basis of formula, m=Zit.
