In chemistry, the electrochemical equivalent (Eq or Z) of a chemical element is the mass of that element (in grams) transported by a specific quantity of electricity, usually expressed in grams per coulomb of electric charge.[1] The electrochemical equivalent of an element is measured with a voltameter.

Definition

The electrochemical equivalent of a substance is the mass of the substance deposited to one of the electrodes when a current of 1 ampere is passed for 1 second, i.e. a quantity of electricity of one coulomb is passed.

The formula for finding electrochemical equivalent is as follows:

<math>Z = M/q </math>

where <math>M</math> is the mass of substance and <math>q</math> is the charge passed. Since <math>q=It</math>, where <math>I</math> is the current applied and <math>t</math> is time, we also have

<math>Z=M/It</math>
