Faraday's laws of electrolysis are relate to the

Options

A. speed of the cation
B. equivalent weight of the electrolyte
C. atomic number of the cation
D. atomic number of the anion

Answer

B

Explanation

Faraday's results were summarized in two laws. (1) Quantity of a substance liberated at an electrode is directly proportional to the quantity of electric charge that has flowed in the circuit. (2) For a given quantity of electric its equivaltent weight (atomic weight divided by the charge on the metaltion). These laws follows directly from the stoichiometry of electrolysis.
The essental content of Faraday's second law is that `1` faraday, which corresponds to `1` mole of electrons, liberates `1` equivalent of matter.
