Abstract

In this paper it is shown that if in the electrolytic process the charge carriers do not participate in the electrode reaction, the Faraday minimum is not fulfilled. In this case, the electrolytic process agrees with the second law of thermodynamics in the following formulation "The work of the flow of electricity in an electrochemical system is spent on chemical reaction, heat generation and entropy drop due to physical processes".
