The mass of a substance deposited or liberated at an electrode during electrolysis is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through the electrolyte.
This relationship is mathematically represented as: \[ m = \frac{M \cdot I \cdot t}{F} \] where:
\( m \) represents the mass of the deposited or liberated substance,
\( M \) is the substance's molar mass,
\( I \) denotes the current in amperes,
\( t \) signifies the time in seconds,
\( F \) is Faraday's constant (\( 96500 \) C mol\(^{-1}\)).
