‘Aooled Chemistry =I (M) I = Current in amperes t ‘Time in seconds Faraday’s 2" law cf electrolysis states that “The masses of different substances produced by a given quantity of electricity are proportional to 1 equivalent mass of the substance. (ie. mass corresponding to a total unit chars on each ion of the substance) Th Mathematically the above two laws are expressed as, mR EE where,m = equivalent mass of substance olution Q = quantity of electricity in coulombs iven d I = Current passed in amperes t = time in seconds M = Molecular mass of substance z = charge onion Conce Solved Numericals based on Faradays’s laws of electrolysi Problem 1 The density cf Cu is 8.94 g/em’, Calculate the quantity of electricit needed 10 plate an area of 100 cmt’ to a thickness of 10? cm usinj CuSO, Solution. Solution : Given Data : Density of Cu = 8.94 g/em® Area of metal surface = 100 cm? Thickness of layer = 107 em To calculate = quantity of electricity required to be passed mass of Cu deposited molar mass of Cu _ density of cu x Volume of Cu metal surfac molar mass of Cu’ 94 x 100 x 10° = (ay 0.142 moles Now, Amount of Cu deposited =
