Abstract:
A report of the Faraday constant as determined at NBS via silver coulometry and atomic weight measurements is presented. The uncertainty of the reported result represents a five-fold improvement over measurements made at NBS 20 years ago. The result should contribute to an analysis of the self-consistency of several other fundamental constants measurements. Experimental details have been reported in other publications which are cited in the text.
