Faraday's Laws of Electrolysis

Two quantitative statements that relate the amount of chemical change at an electrode to the quantity of electric charge passed: (1) the mass of substance deposited or liberated at an electrode is directly proportional to the total electric charge passed; (2) for a given charge, masses of different substances deposited are proportional to their chemical equivalents (molar mass divided by number of

Two empirical laws stating that (1) the mass of a substance deposited or liberated at an electrode during electrolysis is directly proportional to the total electric charge passed, and (2) for a given electric charge the masses of different substances altered are proportional to their chemical equivalent weights; in quantitative form m = (Q·M)/(z·F) where m is mass, Q total charge, M molar mass, z
