Question

The electrochemical equivalents of two substances are E1 and E2. The current that must pass to deposit the same amount at the cathodes in the same time must be in the ratio of

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

Mass deposited $m = Z \times I \times t$, where Z is the electrochemical equivalent (given here as E1 and E2). For the same mass and time, $E_1 I_1 = E_2 I_2$. Rearranging this gives $I_1 / I_2 = E_2 / E_1$. Therefore, correct answer is B.
