Faraday's Laws of Electrolysis

1st Law: The weight of a given element liberated at an electrode is proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through the solution.

2nd Law: The weights of different elements liberated by same quantity of electricity are proportional to the equivalent weights of the elements.

3rd Law: It is known experimentally that 1F (96500 C) always liberates 1g equivalent of a substance.
