Faraday's first law of electrolysis states that the total mass of any given chemical substance that is deposited, liberated, or dissolved at a specific electrode during the process of electrolysis is directly proportional to the total electrical charge that flows through the electrolytic solution. Mathematically, the mass m is expressed as the product of the electrochemical equivalent Z and the electric charge Q, which in turn is the product of current in amperes and time in seconds.
