Electrolysis *First Law The quantity of a substance produced by electrolysis is proprotional to the quantity of electricty used.
*Second Law For a given quantity of electricity the quantity of substance produced is proportional to its weight.
*The quantity of electricity or charge contained in a current running for a specified time can be calculated: Q = I x t Q = quantity of electricity or charge in coulombs (C) I = current in amps (A) t = time (…showed first 75 words of 675 total…
