Question: Faraday's work led to the realization that 96 500C of charge will cause 1 mole of hydrogen or of silver or of chlorine to evolve from electrolysis. Thomson's work led to the measurement of q/m = 1.76 × 1011 C/kg for cathode rays. Millikan measured the elementary charge.
a. What did Faraday's laws of electrolysis imply about atoms and electricity?
b. What did Thomson's work reveal about cathode rays?
c. Combining Faraday's result and Thomson's, find the value of the ratio of the mass of the hydrogen atom to that of the electron.
d. What did Millikan's result reveal about electric charge?
