Equipment: 1x 250 ml glass beaker 1x power pack 1x ammeter 4x wires Copper Sulphate solution 2x Copper electrons 1x Variable resistor Weighing scales 1x stop clock Propane
The electrolysis of copper sulphate solution and copper electrodes Introduction: For my GCSE Chemistry assessment I will be investigating the electrolysis of copper sulphate solution with the copper (ii) plates. Aim: My intention for this observation is to find out how the current has an effect on the mass of copper deposited in the electrolysis of copper sulphate and copper (ii) plates. Safety Precautions: In this investigation I will make sure that everything is as safe as possible and that
circuit, as below: z When a pair of electrodes as above is placed in an ionized solution (Electrolyte) and there is a current flowing between them, the positive ions move toward the negative electrode - cathode and the negative ions move towards the positive electrode - anode. The ions that move towards the cathode are called "cations" and the ions that move toward the anode are called "anions". When the ions reach their respective electrodes, they gain or lose electrons and are transformed
the solution affects the mass of the cathode. I will be observing to see what is happening and exactly how much copper is being deposited on the cathode. Out of the four variables that are listed below, I will be concentrating on the time the electrodes are left in the solution and the size of current that will be applied in this experiment. VARIABLES: There are four variables, which affect this investigation. The first variable is the size of the current applied in the solution. As the current
Batteries [Chemistry HSC Course-1] What is an Anode? “The negatively charged electrode of an electrical device, such as a primary cell, that supplies current.” “An anode is an electrode through which conventional current flows into a polarized electrical device.” What is a Cathode? “The positively charged electrode of an electrical device, such as a primary cell, that supplies current.” “A cathode is the electrode from which a conventional current leaves a polarized electrical device.” What
classified into two types: electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) and redox supercapacitors (pseudocapacitors). EDLCs utilizing carbon-based active materials, such as activated carbon (AC) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with charge stored at electrode-electrolyte interface, are currently the most commonly used devices [2]. On the other hand, pseudocapacitors
Welding whether its tungsten inert gas, metal inert gas, stick electrode arc, or oxyacetylene torch welding, welding is an incredibly freeing art. Welding allows you to create unlike any other form or sculpting or building process. It is not only an art it is also a building method and is very commonly used in the construction industry to build very strong rigid structures. Welding is the process of melting metals together to form a bond. There are usually three pieces of metal you must fuse to
consists of two or more cells connected in series or parallel, you can also have a single cell battery. All cells consist of a positive electrode, and a negative electrode. An electrolyte is a liquid substance capable of conducting electricity. In this substance one of the electrodes will react producing electrons, while the other will except electrons. When the electrodes are connected to a device to be powered,
faster ions move, the more copper is deposited in the given time period. TIME - 1 minute. The longer the ions have to move, the more copper is deposited. ELECTRODES (AREA) - 211.2cm³. The larger the electrode, the more copper can be deposited on it and faster. ELECTRODES (DISTANCE APART) - 5cm. The further apart the electrodes, the further the ions have to travel, and so it takes longer for the copper to be deposited and the less copper can be deposited in the given time period.
of the oxy-acetylene torch. Then the process of arc welding came into play in the late 1800’s to the early 1900’s, when electrical welding became widely popular. Now there are many different kinds of arc welding with materials such as different electrodes, fluxes, and gases. There is some basic equipment that is needed while welding. First and foremost, a welding mask is needed to protect the eyes from the extremely bright light created by the arc. UV light can also come from arcs, so eye protection

drop decreases the terminal voltage of the cell during discharge. If discharge rates higher it will have been given to rise very high internal voltage drops as well as hence lower the output voltage. Aging it will also causes the surface of the electrodes to become worse as well as increase the internal resistance of the cell. As a result, the heating effect of the I2R loss in the internal resistance of the cell will cause the temperature of the cell to rise. Typical internal resistance for a 1000mA

Chemistry is important and surrounds us in our everyday lives. People use chemistry quite often without even realizing it. An important term in chemistry is to know what term matter means. Matter is something that occupies space. People are involved with chemistry as soon as they are born and also experience it every morning when they wake up. As people, we experience chemistry when we walk, eat, sleep, breathe, drink, and many other things that we do in our everyday life. An interesting

In general batteries are into two categories. Primary batteries are non-rechargeable and are commonly found in consumer electronic products. Common primary batteries include zinc-carbon, zinc-alkaline-MnO2, zinc-air, and lithium batteries. Secondary batteries are distinguished by their ability to recharge. Examples include lead-acid, Nickel-Cadmium (NiCad), Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH), and Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. For vehicular applications, secondary batteries are the preferred for power
Energy conservation is becoming a global issue as the earth is nearing its carrying capacity. Energy consumption has steadily been increasing around the globe despite the drive for more energy efficient machines and devices. Rapid advancements in alternative energy sources have shed new light to the use of renewable energy sources in replace of fossils. Renewable energy sources such as wind and solar are able to be converted to electrical energy to power the daily needs of human beings. However,

The tungsten electrode does not melt or become part of the weld. Therefore it is considered a nonconsumable electrode.” (Bowditch, Bowditch and Bowditch 163). Gas tungsten arc welding is often referred to as TIG welding, which means tungsten inert gas welding. This is slang for the actual name to be used, because
