Chemistry 2011 JAMB Past Questions - Question 30: Given that M is the mass of a substance deposited during electrolysis and Q is the quantity of electricity consumed, then Faraday's first law can be written as
Choose the correct answers from the options given.
A:
B:
C:
D:
Correct Answer
B
Explanation
Faraday's first law states that the mass of a substance deposited during electrolysis is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity consumed (Q). This can be represented mathematically as:
\[ M = kQ \]
Where \( M \) is the mass of the substance deposited, \( Q \) is the quantity of electricity consumed, and \( k \) is a constant of proportionality.
The relationship between \( M \) and \( Q \) is not in the form \( M = E/Q \). The correct representation for Faraday's first law is \( M = EQ \).
