Acknowledgement :-
It is my utmost pleasure to express my sincere gratitude to my chemistry teacher Mrs. Nidhi Agnihotri without whose cooperation I
would not have been able to complete my project. It was my privilege to work under her guidance and I heartily thank her for helping me through the course of my project. I am also grateful to Mrs. Manju
Kasana who helped me in selecting the topic for my project.
I would also like thank my parents for their valuable support

Objective :-
“To verify Faraday’s 1st law of electrolysis” (The mass of an elements which is deposited on an
electrode during electrolysis is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity which passes through the
electrolyte.)
![Page 6: Faraday's first law of electrolysis](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050622/55b9c7f9bb61eb1a388b45ee/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Theory :- Faraday's First Law of Electrolysis: Statement -
The mass of an elements which is deposited on an electrode during electrolysis is directly proportional to
the quantity of electricity which passes through the electrolyte.
Explanation-
If M is the amount of substance which liberates or deposited at the electrode on passing the electricity
through the electrolyte and the quantity of electricity is Q, then
![Page 7: Faraday's first law of electrolysis](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050622/55b9c7f9bb61eb1a388b45ee/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
M α Qor M = ZQ
Z is the electrochemical constant for a given substance.
As, Q = i x t
therefore , we can write the statement of the first law of electrolysis mathematically as under :
M α i x tOr M= Zit
If 1 ampere electric current passes through the electrolyte for 1 second then M=Zit means that on passing the current of 1
ampere ampere for 1 second the weight of the substance deposited is equal to the electrochemical constant.
![Page 8: Faraday's first law of electrolysis](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050622/55b9c7f9bb61eb1a388b45ee/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Z is known as the electrochemical equivalent (E.C.E) of the substance. If q = 1C, then m = Z.
unit of charge (Q) = Coulomb (C)unit of mass (m) = Kilogram (kg)unit of current (A) = ampere (A)
unit of electrochemical equivalent (Z) = kg/C
Apparatus :- Copper wires, copper plates, beakers, ammeter, rheostat,
weighing machine, battery and a key .
Materials Required :-Copper sulphate solution, Conc. H2SO4 .
![Page 9: Faraday's first law of electrolysis](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050622/55b9c7f9bb61eb1a388b45ee/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Procedure :- • Prepare 500 ml copper sulphate solution and add a few drops
of conc. H2SO4 .• Now, divide the copper sulphate solution into 3 beakers
equally .• Take 6 copper plates :- 3 as cathodes and 3 for anodes .
Measure the weight of each cathode .• Set up of the circuit – Connect 2 beakers in parallel with the third beaker with the
help of copper electrodes and wires. Now, connect the battery, key, ammeter and rheostat .

• Now, close the circuit, note down the reading in ammeter and leave the set up for about 30 minutes.
• Switch off the circuit and weigh the cathodes again.
• Change the resistance with the help of rheostat and repeat the process one more time.

Observation :-
Two cathodes are in parallel with one cathode therefore, current in the cathodes that are parallel will be less than the one in
series Þ According to Faraday’s law mass deposited on the parallel
electrodes will be less than the mass deposited on the one in series.

Calculations :-According to Faraday’s law – M=zit z=E/F E= equivalent mass (here of Cu2+ ion) = 63.546/2=31.773 F= Faraday’s constant =96500Þ z=31.773/(2x96500)=0.00016 Þ Mass deposited on 1st cathode= a. M=0.00016x300x(10^(-3))x30x60= 0.0864 g b. M=0.00016x500x(10^(-3))x30x60= 0.144 g

Mass deposited on 2nd cathode=a. M=0.00016x150x(10^(-3))x30x60= 0.0432 gb. M=0.00016x250x(10^(-3))x30x60= 0.072 g

Result According to Faraday’s law-Mass α charge or M=zitMass deposited on cathodes is –
Experimentally :- 1st - a. _________g b. __________ g
2nd - a._________g b.__________g
3rd - a._________g b.__________g
Theoretically :- 1st - a. 0.0864 g b. 0.144 g
2nd - a. 0.0432 g b. 0.072 g
3rd - a. 0.0432 g b. 0.072 g

Experimental and theoretical values are equal and also mass deposited on 1st cathode is more than the mass deposited on 2nd and 3rd cathode since, the current is more in 1st cathode.
ÞFaraday’s first law of electrolysis is verified.
