Question:

Faraday's laws of electrolysis will fails in which of the following situations?

Options:

Temperature is increased.

Inert electrodes are used.

A mixture of electrolytes are used.

None of the above

Correct Answer:

None of the above

Explanation:

The answer is 4. None of the above.

Faraday's laws of electrolysis are based on the following two principles:

  1. The amount of a substance deposited or liberated at an electrode during electrolysis is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through the electrolyte.
  2. The amount of a substance deposited or liberated at an electrode during electrolysis is independent of the nature of the electrodes used.

Therefore, Faraday's laws of electrolysis will not fail in any of the situations mentioned.

Temperature: The temperature of the electrolyte can affect the rate of electrolysis, but it does not affect the amount of substance deposited or liberated.

Inert electrodes: Inert electrodes are electrodes that do not react with the electrolyte. The use of inert electrodes does not affect the amount of substance deposited or liberated.

Mixture of electrolytes: A mixture of electrolytes can affect the rate of electrolysis, but it does not affect the amount of substance deposited or liberated.
