g The numerical value of F to be used in coulometric chemical measurements is 96 485.3432(76) [7.9108 ] when the relevant current is measured
in terms of representations of the volt and ohm based on the Josephson and quantum Hall effects and the internationally adopted conventional values
of the Josephson and von Klitzing constants K J90 and RK90 given in the Adopted values table.

Derived from the relations E = mc2 = hc/ = h = kT , and based on the 1998 CODATA adjustment of the values of the constants;
1 m(12 C) = 103 kg mol1/N , and E = 2R hc = 2 m c2 is the Hartree energy (hartree).
