Please see the work below.

Work Step by Step

Electricity transported by one mole of the electron is called Faraday and is represented by the symbol F. One mole of electron contains Avagadro number$(N_{A})$ of electrons. Avagadro number$(N_{A})$ =$ 6.02\times10^{23}/mol $. The charge carried by one electron = $ 1.6021\times10^{-19}C$ The charge carried by one mole of electron = $6.02\times10^{23}\times1.6021\times10^{-19}C/mol$ = $96487 C/mol$ The charge carried by the one-mole electron is known as Faraday's constant (F). Faraday constant, F = $96487 C/mol$. For calculations we use 1 F = $96500C/mol$
