Unfortunately for hydrogen in a combustion engine this is only true in theory: As combustion engines are using air to supply oxygen and as hydrogen is burning with a high temperature NOx will form.

The Faraday constant F is defined as the charge of 1 mole of electrons. As one mole is 1 mol = 6.022 · 1023 particles and each electron has a charge of 1.6022 · 10-19 C the Faraday constant is 9.6485 · 104 C/mol(e-).
