In electrolysis the mass deposited on an electrode is directly proportional to
A.
Current
B.
Square of current
C.
Concentration of solution
D.
Inverse of current
Answer :
Current
Solution :
According to first law of Faraday, the mass of a substance deposited on an electrode is directly proportional to the charge flowing through the electrolyte i.e. $$m \propto q$$
If a current $$i$$ passes for a time $$t,$$ then we know,
$$q = it$$
Hence, $$m \propto it\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,m \propto i$$
Thus, mass deposited on an electrode is directly proportional to current passed through it.
