Faraday's electrolysis law

jeudi 1 août 2013

According to Wikipedia Faraday's electrolysis law is



[tex]n_i = \frac{Q_{passed}}{Fz_i}[/tex]



Where n_i is moles of species i, which has charge z_i, liberated at electrode. Q_passed is the charge that has passed, which is function of time t.



How is this law derived and are there any approximations taken - is it exact if Q_passed is an exact function of t? e.g. surely it only works if reaction is considered irreversible. So, how do we calculate n liberated precisely - e.g. along Butler-Volmer lines?
