The mass of product liberated on anode in an electrochemical cell depends on (where is the time period for which the current is passed).
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
-
Use Faraday’s first law of electrolysis
The mass of a substance liberated or deposited at an electrode is directly proportional to the total charge passed through the electrolyte:
-
Relate charge to current and time
We know that charge is given by:
where:
- = current
- = time
-
Substitute into Faraday’s law
Therefore,
-
Match with the given options
The correct dependence is:
So, Option B is correct.
