Question

According to Faraday's first law of electrolysis the relationship between the mass of a substance deposited or liberated at any electrode is

• A. mass of substance liberated is inversely proportional to the quantity of electricity passed
• B. mass of substance liberated is less than the quantity of electricity passed
• C. directly proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through the electrolytic solution
• D. mass of substance liberated is equal to the quantity of electricity passed

Answer 1

The correct option is C

directly proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through the electrolytic solution

Faraday's first law states that the mass of a substance deposited or liberated at any electrode is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through the electrolytic solution.
