Which law states that the mass of a substance deposited or liberated at an electrode during electrolysis is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through the electrolyte?

A. Faraday's First Law of Electrolysis✓ Correct Answer
B. Faraday's Second Law of Electrolysis
C. Ohm's Law
D. Avogadro's Law

💡 Solution & Explanation

Faraday's First Law of Electrolysis establishes that the mass of a chemical element liberated at an electrode is directly proportional to the total electric charge passed through the solution. Ohm's law deals with current, voltage, and resistance in electrical circuits rather than electrochemical deposition.
