Electrochemical equivalent

Japanese: 電気化学当量 - でんきかがくとうりょう(英語表記)electrochemical equivalent
Electrochemical equivalent

When a pair of electrodes is placed in a solution of an electrolyte (acid, alkali, salt, etc.) and 1 coulomb of electricity is passed between the electrodes from a DC power source such as a battery to perform electrolysis, the number of grams of atoms or atomic groups that precipitate on each electrode (called the anode and cathode) is called the electrochemical equivalent of each substance. This is equal to the chemical equivalent of a metal or nonmetallic atom or atomic group divided by the Faraday constant. For example, the electrochemical equivalent of silver is 0.001118 grams.

Japanese:

電解質(酸、アルカリ、塩など)の溶液中に一対の電極を入れ、これらの電極間に電池などの直流電源から1クーロンの電気量を流して電気分解したときに、それぞれの電極(陽極、陰極という)に析出してくる原子あるいは原子団のグラム数をそれぞれの物質の電気化学当量という。これは、金属または非金属の原子あるいは原子団の化学当量をファラデー定数で割ったものに等しい。たとえば銀の電気化学当量は0.001118グラムである。
