The SI unit of electrochemical equivalent is

  • A
    J s-1
  • Correct answer
    B
    Kg C-1
  • C
    Kg m s-2
  • D
    Kg m-1 s-2

Solution

The electrochemical equivalent of a substance is the mass liberated in electrolysis by 1 coulomb. It can be calculated by assuming by 1 coulomb Faraday’s second law and using the experimental fact that the equivalent weight in gams of all substances is liberate by 96500 C.
Electrochemical equivalent =Equivalent weight96500
Gm per coulomb. Its unit is kg C-1.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
