Question

The quantity of silver deposited when one coulomb charge is passed through  solution:

Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Strategy:
 Faraday's First Law of Electrolysis states that the mass of substance deposited () is proportional to the quantity of electricity passed (). The proportionality constant is the Electrochemical Equivalent ().

Step 1: Apply Faraday's First Law
The relationship is given by:

where:
- : mass of substance deposited
- : electrochemical equivalent (ECE)
- : Current in amperes

Step 2: Define Electrochemical Equivalent (ECE)
By definition, if  coulomb is passed, then:

Thus, the mass deposit
