Question

The electrochemical equivalent of a material in an electrolyte depends on.

• A. the nature of material
• B. the current through the electrolyte
• C. the amount of charge passed through electrolyte
• D. the amount of material present in electrolyte.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

the nature of material

Explanation of correct option :

Option A- electrochemical equivalent

1. The electrochemical equivalent of a material in an electrolyte depends on the nature of the material.
2. It is according to faraday's first law, The amount of substance that undergoes oxidation or reduction at each electrode during electrolysis is directly proportional to the amount of electricity that passes through the cell.
3. It is equal to the product of current and time.
4. It depends upon the nature of the material used as an electrolyte.

Hence option (A) is the correct answer.
