The electrochemical equivalent of a substance is numerically equal to the mass of the substance deposited if a current 1 flows through the electrolyte for 0.25 seconds. The value of 1 is

Options

A. a) 1A
B. b) 2A
C. c) 3A
D. d) 4A

Explanation

To solve the problem, we will use Faraday's first law of electrolysis, which states that the mass (M) of a substance deposited during electrolysis is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity (Q) passed through the electrolyte. The relationship can be expressed as:

\[ M = Z \cdot I \cdot T \]

Where:
- \( M \) = mass of the substance deposited
- \( Z \) = electrochemical equivalent of the substance
- \( I \) = current in amperes
