It depends on the conductivity, and the current density. First take the conductivity in uMho and convert that to ppm. of ions. Then figure the number of ions between the plates using alvagrado's number and the volume of liquid between the plates. Then take the current and convert to electrons per second (that is simply the current divided by the charge on an electron). Divide this by the number of ions between the plates and multiply by the distance between the plates. That will give you the velocity of the ions in inches per second, or cm per second, depending on if the distance between the plates was measured in inches or cm.
