Faraday constant (F) = 96485 C/mol, approximately 96500 C/mol. It is the magnitude of electric charge per mole of electrons. Charge on one electron = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C, multiplied by Avogadro's number gives F. Used in electrolysis calculations: mass deposited = (Q × M)/(n × F).
Explanation:
Synthetic detergents (like alkyl sulfates or sulfonates) form soluble calcium and magnesium salts, so they lather well even in hard water. Soaps form scum. Detergents are usually derived from petrochemicals, can be non-biodegradable if branched, and may cause pollution.
