Question

what is Electrochemical equivalent?

Answer 1

An electrochemical equivalent (ECE) is the amount of a substance in grams produced or consumed by the passage of one coulomb of electricity in an electrochemical reaction.

A voltmeter is used to measure the electrochemical equivalent of an element. ECE is mainly used for determining the kinetics of corrosion rates and to estimate the oxidizing power in specific environments.

Electrochemical equivalent can be abbreviated as Eq (grams per coulomb).

Answer 2

Definition of electrochemical equivalent. : the weight of a substance (such as an element) deposited or evolved during electrolysis by the passage of a specified quantity of electricity and usually expressed in grams per coulomb, the value for silver as the usual standard being 0.001118 gram.
