Question

Faraday’s laws of electrolysis are related to:
(A) atomic number of the cation
(B) atomic number of the anion
(C) equivalent mass of the electrolyte
(D) speed of the cation

Answer 1

Hint:
 The electrochemical cell which is used in the process of electrolysis via spontaneous redox reaction is called an electrolytic cell. Michael Faraday in $1834$ proposed two laws which are called faraday’s law of electrolysis.

Complete step by step answer:
Michael Faraday established the relationship between the amount of electric charge passed through an electrolyte and the quantity of the substance that gets deposited at the electrodes in the form of laws of electrolysis.
Michael Faraday was the first to explain the quantitative aspects of the Laws of Electrolysis. . He proposed two laws to explain the quantitative aspects of electrolysis popularly known as Faraday’s laws of electrolysis.
There proposed two laws which are called Faraday’s first law of electrolysis and Faraday's second law of electrolysis.
The first law of electrolysis states that ‘The amount of a substance that gets deposited or dissolved at an electrode is directly proportional to the charge which passes through the electrolytes i.e. the amount of chemical reaction that happens at any electrode under the influence of electrical energy is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through it.
The second law states that the quantity of different substances deposited or dissolved at electrodes by the passage of the same amount of electricity is proportional to their chemical equivalent weight. Equivalent weight is the ratio of the atomic mass of metal and the number of electrons that are required for the reduction of the cation.
Hence, We can say that Faraday's law of electrolysis is related to the equivalent mass of electrolyte.

Therefore, option (C) is correct.

Note:
An electrolyte provides the medium in which the exchange of electrons between the cathode and anode takes place. Commonly used electrolytes in electrolytic cells are water and molten sodium chloride.
