Question:   Which of the following is the correct equation to represent Faraday’s 1st law of electrolysis?

A   mz = ct

B   m = czt

C    mc = z.t

D     c = mz.t

Answer:    m = czt

 

AspectMathematical RepresentationExplanation
Faraday’s First Law of Electrolysism = cztIt states that the mass of a substance (m) deposited or liberated during electrolysis is directly proportional to the product of the substance’s electrochemical equivalent (c), the charge (z), and the time (t) for which the electrolysis process occurs.
