<h3>What is Faraday's Law of electrolysis?</h3>
According to the first law of Faraday, the amount of substance liberated at an electrode is directly proportional to the quantity of charge passed through an electrolyte.
m = zq , where z = electrochemical equivalent
An electrochemical equivalent is the mass of the substance liberated at an electrode when 1 Columb of charge is passed through the electrolyte.
For the nickel,
z = 2
The molar mass of NiS0₄ = 154.75 g
154.75 g of Ni needs 2 x 96485 C
32 g of Ni needs
32 g of Ni needs 39944.79 C
We know,
q = It
Where q = charge
I = current and t = time in seconds
q = 39944.79 C and t = 5 x 60 x 60 = 18000 s
= 2.219 A
Hence, the current needed to deposit all the nickel is 2.219 A in 5 hours
