11,854.94mg

That's 2.5× as much charge as a phone battery’s charge, while one faraday is 2.7× more.

What it means

How much charge is that?

At 100 % current efficiency. Real baths lose some current to side reactions (hydrogen); chromium plating is often only 15–25 % efficient.

The math

How to convert C to mg

mass = charge × M ÷ (z × 96,485); charge = mass × z × 96,485 ÷ M.

Example: 36,000 C = 11,854.9 mg.

Masses on this page are for copper (Cu²⁺). Pick another metal above.
