What does one coulomb represent?

One coulomb is the SI unit of electric charge, defined as the charge transported by a steady current of one ampere in one second.

Why is the faraday unit based on carbon 12 significant?

This faraday unit ties electrical charge to the mole concept as originally defined by carbon 12, linking charge to chemical amounts for electrochemical calculations.

Can this conversion be used for modern electrochemical experiments?

It can be used for general calculations, but precision experiments often use updated Faraday constants aligned with current mole definitions.
