Moles of electrons passed are obtained by dividing Q by Faraday constant: F = 96487 C/mol e Mols of metal dissolved are obtained by dividing the mols of electron by n: I *t I *t M M * AW (g) AW = atomic weight (g) n * F (mol) Then mass: n* F

Non-Faradaic Current - Double Layer Charging The current originates from charging of the electrode, which is analogous to charging of a capacitor. During charging, species in the electrolyte may absorb or desorb from the interface, and therefore, the structure of the interface may change.

Double layer represents a capacitor is describes by capacitance Cd ranging from 10 to 40 mF/cm2. However, since the capacitance is a function of potential, the double layer does not behave as an ideal capacitor.
