The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate each of the given statements regarding Faraday and coulombs. 1. **Understanding Faraday's Constant**: - Faraday's constant (F) is defined as the amount of electric charge per mole of electrons. It is approximately equal to 96500 coulombs. This means that one mole of electrons carries a charge of about 96500 coulombs. 2. **Evaluating the Statements**: - **Option A**: "Faraday represents 96500 coulombs per second." - This statement is incorrect. Faraday's constant represents the total charge per mole of electrons, not a rate of charge per second. - **Option B**: "Coulomb represents 1 ampere for half a second." - This statement is also incorrect. A coulomb is defined as the amount of charge transferred by a current of one ampere in one second, not half a second. - **Option C**: "Coulomb represents half ampere for one second." - This statement is incorrect as well. A coulomb is the charge transferred by one ampere in one second, not half an ampere. - **Option D**: "Faraday represents charge of one mole of electron." - This statement is correct. Faraday's constant indeed represents the charge of one mole of electrons, which is approximately 96500 coulombs. 3. **Conclusion**: - After evaluating all the options, the only correct statement is **Option D**: "Faraday represents charge of one mole of electron." ### Final Answer: The correct statement is: **Option D: Faraday represents charge of one mole of electron.**
