Question

Can u give a formula for calculating the
Electrochemical equivalent

Answer 1

It is denoted by “Z”.

We know, Faraday’s first law of electrolysis states that “the mass of an element(W) liberated or deposited is proportional to the quantity of electric charge(Q) passed through the electrolyte during electrolysis”.

i.e. W∝Q

i.e.W∝It [Since q=it]

=>W=ZIt ,

[Here,Z is the proportionality constant,known as ECE]

=>Z=W/It

It is the reqd. expression to calculate ECE of an element.

Hope this helps you!!
