Electrolysis Investigation Planning In this investigation, I will assess how changing the electric current in the electrolysis of acidified water affects the rate at which hydrogen gas is produced. The solution to be electrolysed is made up using acid and water. It is of little consequence what acid is used however in this case I will use Sulphuric acid (H2SO4). When H2SO4 is put in water it is dissociated and forms ions: H2SO4 → 2H (2+) + SO4 (2-) Ions are also present from
Electrolysis Investigation Aim To investigate how voltage affects the amount of a copper (Cu) deposited during electrolysis of copper sulphate solution (CuSO4). Variables ========= TEMPERATURE - Approximately 20° centigrade.The higher the temperature, the faster the ions move through the solution. Thus, more copper is deposited in the given time period. ELECTROLYTE (CONCENTRATION) - 100g per litre. The denser the solution, the slower the reaction. The slower the reaction
An Investigation into Electrolysis - Copper Sulphate Introduction Decomposition caused by electricity is called electrolysis. The electrical energy causes a chemical change. When a salt is dissolved in water, its ions become free to move so the solution can be "electrolyzed." The products of the electrolysis depend on the chemical solution, its strength and the type of electrode. The cathode is negatively charged and therefore attracts to it positive ions. E.g. hydrogen. The more reactive
An investigation into whether the voltage affects the amount of gas produced during the electrolysis of sodium chloride solution. Prediction: I think that hydrogen gas will be produced due to the half equation 2H +2e àH this will be produced at the cathode because opposites attract and the hydrogen ions are positive. At the anode I think that chlorine will be produced due to the half equation 2CL -2e àCL the chlorine ions are negative so they are attracted to the positive electrode. I also think
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
Investigation of Positively and Negatively Charged Electrons To try and find out if positively charged electrons deposit to the negatively charged electrons. This means, the electrons in the cathode attract electrons from the anode so they move towards the cathode from the anode. Prediction: I think that as the electrons move from the anode to the cathode, the mass of the anode to the cathode, the mass of the anode decreases whilst the mass of the cathode increases. I can support
Electrolysis of Copper in Copper Sulphate Solution Introduction Aim This is an investigation into how temperature affects the amount of copper lost from the Anode and gained on the Cathode during electrolysis. Electrolysis is… The chemical change by passing electric charge through certain conducting liquids (electrolytes). The current is conducted by migration of ions - negative ones from the Anode (positive electrode), and positive ones to the Cathode (negative electrode).

The Factors that Affect the Mass of Copper Background Information ====================== Electrolysis is the decomposition of a molten or aqueous compound by electricity. Electrolysis occurs only in liquids called electrolytes. Electrolytes are compounds, which conduct electricity when molten or dissolved in water, but not when they are in a solid state as the oppositely charged ions are held together by strong ionic bonds in a giant lattice and this means electricity cannot pass through
The Effect of the Amount of Sodium Chloride on the Electric Current During Electrolysis Background When an electric current passes through sodium chloride solution, chemical reactions take place at both cathode and anode. If one passes through sodium chloride solution, there will be passage of ions moving through this solution. This results in positively charged sodium ions, which have been dissolved into the solution, moving towards the cathode and deposited there. At the same time, negatively
Electroplating Experiment Aim To find the amount copper gains or loses on the electrodes using different amounts of current each time during electrolysis. How the changing of current affects the electroplating of copper. Introduction Electroplating is generally carried out in order to improve the appearance or corrosion resistance of the surface of a metal by electrodepositing a thin layer of metal ion on it. The metal substrate to be coated is made by the cathode in an electrolytic
Investigating Electrolysis INTRODUCTION: In this experiment I will be investigating how the amount of copper affects the mass of the cathode. I will do this experiment twice so that I have an average of my results so that they are accurate. I have already done my preliminary work and from it, I have noticed that I will have to make some changes with the method of my experiment. AIM: In this experiment, I intend to find out how much copper in the solution affects the mass of the cathode
right now. A Brief History of Fuel Cell Technology The ideas behind fuel cells have existed for around one hundred and sixty years. Sir William Grove is cited as the first person to think that one could produce a current by reversing the electrolysis of water (SAE.org). However, it was until fifty years later that the term ‘fuel cell’ was coined by two researchers, Charles Langer and Ludwig Mond, trying to invent the first viable fuel cell fueled by coal gas (SAE.org). The technology lay
5.1 What is Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell (MCFC) ? It a cell that takes Hydrogen, Oxygen and carbon dioxide as feed and produces water. It operates at extremely high temperature (between 6000C – 7000C). Molten Carbonate fuel cells are usually %45 to %55 efficient. That is due to heat lost from the chemical reaction (not all of the energy converts to electrical energy. This report will demonstrate the components of molten carbonate Fuel cell, what there mode are of and how they function. 5.2 Advantages

Hypothesis ---------- I predict that if the current used to electrolyse
combine to form water. The electrical current (P+) is produced by a catalyst. The oxidation reaction is: 2H2→4H+ + 4e-. The reduction reaction is: 4H+ + O2 + 4e- → 2H2O. A process that does the exact opposite thing as a hydrogen fuel cell is electrolysis. Electrolysis splits water into hydrogen molecules and oxygen molecules. The process works by using electricity to split apart the water molecule. The reaction is: H2O → H2 + ½ O2. Water is very importa... ... middle of paper ... ...ative effects
The term internal resistance of a battery is meant to us as the dissent to the flow of current within the battery. There are two basic elements affect the internal resistance of a battery, they are electronic resistance and ionic resistance.[1] In a closed circuit the electric current flowing within the battery is due to the chemical reactions, we can say that electric current flowing will take place only if the voltage across the battery voltage(V) is different from the chemical potential (E).[2]
different electrochemical reaction [29, 29]. The sweep rates in cyclic voltammetry can be about the same as in single sweep voltammetry. Cyclic voltammetry makes possible the elucidation of the kinetics of electrochemical reactions taking place at the electrode surface [31, 32]. In a typical voltammogram, there can be several peaks. From the sweep-rate dependence of the possible to investigate the role of adsorption, diffusion and coupled homogeneous chemical reaction mechanism. [33] The important
Introduction: A fuel cell is a device that converts the chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through a chemical reaction of positively charged hydrogen ions with oxygen or another oxidizing agent. Fuel cells are different from batteries in that they require a continuous source of fuel and oxygen or air to sustain the chemical reaction, whereas in a battery the chemicals present in the battery react with each other to generate an electromotive (emf). Fuel cells can produce electricity
