An electrolytic cell for the measurement of quantities of electricity by quantitative determination of chemical changes; sometimes called voltameter. 2, record 1, English, - coulometer
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Coulometers are used for the determination of quantities of energy in standardization procedures and some electroanalytical measurements. Coulometers are based on Faraday's first law, which states that for a current of I amperes flowing for t sec, the coulombs passing are the product of It; consequently, the amount of material deposited on an electrode is IT/96,487 gram-equivalents. 2, record 1, English, - coulometer
