{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-004345",
  "term": "Faraday’s laws of electrolysis",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Two fundamental principles governing the quantitative aspects of electrolysis. The first law states that the mass of a substance altered at an electrode is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through the cell. The second law states that for a given quantity of electricity, the mass of different elements deposited or liberated is proportional to their respective chemical equivalent weights.",
