Faraday's law of electrolysis are related to the:
Correct answer: C. Equivalent mass of the electrolyte
- A. Atomic number of the cation
- B. Atomic number of anion
- C. Equivalent mass of the electrolyte
- D. Speed of the cation
Explanation
Faraday's law of electrolysis is concerned with the relationship between the quantity of electricity passed through an electrolyte and the amount of substance deposited or liberated at the electrodes. It is directly related to the equivalent mass of the electrolyte because equivalent mass defines how much of the substance will interact with one mole of electrons. The atomic numbers of cations or anions (Options A and B) and the speed of the cation (Option D) do not influence the fundamental relationship outlined in Faraday's law.

About Electrochemistry
Electrochemistry describes electron transfer through oxidation and reduction, identifies oxidizing and reducing agents, and applies oxidation numbers to balance redox equations. It also covers electrode potential and the standard hydrogen electrode, which provides the reference for comparing the reduction tendencies of other electrodes.
