The amount of different substances produced, when the same quantity of electricity is passed through different solutions are proportional to their__________________?

Correct answer: A. Equivalent weight

  • A. Equivalent weight
  • B. (Equivalent weight)2
  • C. Molecular weight
  • D. (Molecular weight)2

Explanation

Faraday's law states that the mass deposited or liberated by a fixed quantity of electricity is proportional to the substance's equivalent weight, not its molecular weight alone. The equivalent weight accounts for the number of electrons involved.
