Experimental Determination of Conductance The basic principle of the experimental determination of electrolytic conductance is that of the Wheatstone’s bridge. A simplified circuit diagram of…

The Conductance of Electrolytic Solutions The power of conducting electricity by any conductor is described in terms of its conductivity or conductance. Conductance is reciprocal…

Significance of the Faraday’s Laws Faraday’s law of induction is one of the important concepts of electricity. It looks at the way changing magnetic fields…

Proof of the Second Law of Faraday Second Law: The mass of a substance liberated at an electrode by a given amount of charge is…

Verification of the First Law of Faraday Faraday’s first law may be verified by measuring the quantity of electricity flowing through an electrical circuit. The…

Faraday’s Laws of Electrolysis Micheal Faraday (1804) carried out a large number of experiments on electrolysis, and derived quantitative relationships between the quantity of electricity…

Mechanism of Electrolytic Conduction The first successful mechanism of electrolysis was put forward by R. Clausius (1857). He made the following assumptions: (i) in solution…

Electrolysis Early in the investigation of the effect of passing current through solutions, it was discovered that decomposition of the solute took place. As soon…

Comparison of metallic conduction and electrolytic conduction Conductors of electricity may be divided into two groups according to the mechanism by which electricity is carried…

Electrolytic Conduction Conductors of electricity may be divided into two groups according to the mechanism by which electricity is carried through them. It is a…
