5 i/s – current density, an important quantity in electrochemistry, U/l (here E) is
the intensity of the electric field.
6 variant: common cation (then march towards anode) the method becomes
descending (shown is ascending)
7 0.001 because v is in cm3 (and v is the volume between positions MB1 and
MB2)
Total charge q may be determined by any way (e.g. a product of current and time)
There are many ways of measuring the position of the border.
8 Composition of catholyte and anolyte changes during the electrolysis. There
are two reasons: First – reactions on electrodes, second – migration (or movement of ions in the electric field).

11 In some systems concentration of one substance can decrease and quite a
different substance can appear. This is true, when the system is asymmetric with respect to the electrode reaction (wne second reaction is NOT a simple inversion of the first).
Originally, Faraday formulated two
laws, which are nowadays presented in
„two-in-one” fashion.
Please, note that in this cell liquid junction is not needed!!!
