C6 H5 NO2 + 6H+ + 6e- → C6 H5 NH2 + 2H2 O

Molecular mass of nitrobenzene is 123.

We know that 1g of hydrogen is liberated from 96500 C.

Thus for 6g Hydrogen, the charge required will be 6 * 96500 C

As 1 faraday charge= 96500 C

Therefore, to convert 123 g nitrobenzene to aniline, 6 faraday charge is required.
