Faraday's Laws of Electrolysis

Faraday's Laws of Electrolysis describe how electric current causes chemical changes during electrolysis. The first law states that the amount of substance produced or consumed at an electrode is directly proportional to the amount of electric charge passed through the electrolyte. The second law states that different substances produced by the same amount of electric charge are proportional to their chemical equivalent weights. Essentially, these laws quantify the relationship between electrical energy and chemical change, allowing precise calculation of how much substance is deposited or removed during electrolysis based on the electrical current applied.
