How to Calculate and Solve for Exchange Current Density | Corrosion

Last Updated on August 3, 2022

The exchange current density is illustrated by the image below.

To compute for exchange current density, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Current Density (io), Number of Electrons (n) and Faraday’s Constant (F).

The formula for calculating exchange current density:

γredoxid) = io/nF

Where:

γredoxid) = Exhange Current Density
io = Current Density
n = Number of Electrons
F = Faraday’s Constant

Given an example;
Find the exchange current density when the current density is 8, the number of electrons is 4 and the faraday’s constant is 2.

This implies that;

io = Current Density = 8
n = Number of Electrons = 4
F = Faraday’s Constant = 2

γredoxid) = io/nF
γredoxid) = 8/(4)(2)
γredoxid) = 8/(8)
γredoxid) = 1

Therefore, the exchange current density is 1.
