The symbol for electrochemical equivalent is "z" or sometimes "Z".
It represents the amount of a substance (in grams) that is deposited or dissolved at an electrode during electrolysis, when one coulomb of electric charge passes through the electrolyte. The electrochemical equivalent is typically used in calculations involving electrolysis and is related to the current and time passed.
The formula for electrochemical equivalent (z) is:
\[
z = \frac{M}{nF}
\]
Where:
It helps to understand how much material will be deposited or dissolved for a given amount of electric charge.

\]
Where:
- \( M \) is the molar mass of the substance,
- \( n \) is the number of electrons involved in the reaction,
- \( F \) is Faraday's constant (approximately 96,485 C/mol).
