Question
Write down Faradays law

Answer

(1) First Law:
→ The amount of chemical reaction which occurs at any electrode during electrolysis by a current is proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through the electrolyte (solution or melt).
→ If W is amount of matter and Q is electricity then $W \propto Q$
(2) Second Law:
→ The amounts of different substances liberated by the same quantity of electricity passing through the electrolytic solution are proportional to their chemical equivalent weights (Atomic Mass of Metal ÷ Number of electrons required to reduce the cation).
→ If W is amount of matter and Eq. is Equivalent weight then$W \propto$ Eq.wt
