State and explain Faraday's law of electrolysis?
Faraday's first law. The amount of substance produced at an electrode during electrolysis is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through the electrolyte.
or It
or W = ZIt
where W is the mass of substance produced at an electrode.
I is current in amperes
t is time in seconds for which current is passed.
Z is electro-chemical equivalent of substance.
Faraday's second law: It states that the masses of different substances liberated or dissolved by the same amount of electricity passed is directly proportional to their chemical equivalents. Or in other words “the same quantity of electricity will produce or dissolve chemically equivalent quantities of all substances.”
Mathematically,
Thus, we can say that the same quantity of electricity is required to produce one equivalent of any substance. It is called Faraday, F. It is equal to 96500 coulombs, and is equal to the charge on one mole of electrons.
