Solution
The correct option is C the equivalent weight of the electrolyte Faraday's first law of elecrolysis : This law states that "The amount of a substance deposited or dissolved at an electrode is directly proportional to the charge passing through the electrolytes. Faraday's second law : This law states that the amounts of different substances deposited at electrodes by passage of the same quantity of electricity are proportional to their chemical equivalent(E).
