Faraday's first law of electrolysis states that mass deposited is proportional to:

Answer: Charge passed.

  • A Voltage
  • B Resistance
  • C Charge passed
  • D Temperature

Correct answer: C. Charge passed

Explanation: m = ZQ, where Z is electrochemical equivalent and Q is total charge passed through the electrolyte.
