Ok, thank you guys very much!

Well this wasn't based off of much reading per say, but for context I'm talking about an alkaline electrolyzer where a battery (9V battery that alligator clips can attatch to) serves as a power source and wires connect to an ammeter which would then connect to an electrode. The charge will flow...

Hydrogen production rate is typically measured in current density, but what is the area in which the current is divided by to find such a value?

Wow, thank you for the clear and concise explanation of faraday's law! But, just to be sure, the F is multiplied by the 2 because it takes 2 moles of electrons to produce one mole of H2 gas correct?

Thank you for your clarification between the two variables. But which equation would be used to find the amount of hydrogen that will be produced from the electrolyzer? (This is not a homework question, more of a research question)

N is equal to the number of moles of the electrolyzed species (in this case I am trying to find the amount of hydrogen produced) , Q is charge, n is stoichiometric number of electrons consumed in the electrode reaction (please explain what this means, and F is the Faraday constant. For the...

To my understanding, current density is simply the current flowing through the alkaline electrolyzer divided by the area (the units for current density are A/m^2). But what would the area be in this situation? Is it the area of the electrodes or maybe the area of the electrolyte solution or...
