Where:
F0 is a universal constant called Faradays constant, that has the value 96.484,6
A is the mols mass of the deposited substance
v is the valence of a ion from the deposited substance
Application:Electroplating
Electroplating is used to coat one metal with another metal by using electrolysis.
Electroplating is usually done to improve the appearance of the metal or prevent
the corrosion of the metal.
The cathode is the object to be plated,
while anode is the desired metal to coat
the object. The electrolyte solution
must contain ions of the same metal for
plating. During electrolysis, the anode
will dissolve into the solution. The ions
produced will migrate to the cathode
where they are discharged and
deposited as a layer on the cathode.
It is important to ensure that the
cathode is electrically conductive. (If
not, the electrolysis does not work.)
