Question

State and explain Faraday’s first law of Electrolysis.

Answer 1

Faradays laws of Electrolysis

The relationship between the quantity of electric charge passed through an electrolyte and the amount of the substance deposited at the electrodes was presented by Faraday in 1834, in the form of laws of electrolysis.

FIRST LAW

“the mass of a substance deposited or liberated at any electrode is directly proportional to the amount of charge passed”

This proportionality can be made into an equality by, w = zq

where z is the proportionality constant called the electrochemical equivalent. It is the mass of the substance in grams deposited or liberated by passing one coulomb of charge.

Answer 2

it state thats, "the amount of mass liberated or deposited during electrolysis is directly proportional to tha amount of charge passes through electrolytic solutions.
