法拉第电解定律Faraday's laws of electrolysis

\[m = \frac{QM}{zF} = \frac{ItM}{zF},\qquad n_e = \frac{Q}{F}\]

含义Meaning

电解时电极上析出(溶解)物质的量与通过的电量成正比(第一定律);通过相同电量时,析出物质的量与离子电荷数成反比(第二定律)。法拉第(1834)。

The amount deposited or dissolved at an electrode is proportional to the charge passed (first law) and, for equal charge, inversely proportional to the ion’s charge number (second law) — Faraday, 1834.

符号说明Symbols

符号Symbol含义 Meaning单位 Unit
\(Q = It\)电量chargeC
\(F\)法拉第常数 96485 C/molFaraday constantC·mol⁻¹
\(z\)电极反应中每个离子转移的电子数electrons per ion in the electrode reaction1
\(M\)摩尔质量molar massg·mol⁻¹

推导Derivation

  1. 每个 M^{z+} 还原需要 z 个电子;1 mol 电子带电量 \(F = N_Ae\)。

    Each M^{z+} needs z electrons; one mole of electrons carries F = N_A e.

  2. 电子的物质的量 Q/F,金属的物质的量 Q/(zF),乘以 M 得质量。

    Moles of metal = Q/(zF); multiply by M.

适用条件与局限Assumptions & limitations

  • 假设电流效率 100%;有副反应(如析氢)时实际析出量更少。

    Assumes 100 % current efficiency; side reactions (H₂ evolution) reduce yield.

例题Worked example

2.00 A 电流电解 CuSO₄ 溶液 1 h:m(Cu) = 2.00×3600×63.55/(2×96485) = 2.37 g。

2.00 A for 1 h deposits 2.37 g of Cu.
