1.56     recall that one faraday represents one mole of electrons

Try to remember that the word “faraday” simply means “a mole of electrons”, e.g. 0.5 faradays means 0.5 moles of electrons.

The actual charge on one mole of electrons is approximately 96,500 Coulombs, (which is called the Faraday Constant after the great scientist Sir Michael Faraday).  The figure given in text books and exam questions varies: sometimes it is given as 96,000 C to make arithmetic easier.
