  • An Investigation into Electrolysis - Copper Sulphate

    1372 Words  | 3 Pages

    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

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

    experiment is carried out for. The greater the time the electrodes are left in the solution, the more time there is for the copper to be gathered at the anode. The third variable that affects the experiment is the temperature of the copper II sulphate solution. As the temperature of the solution increases, more of the ions gain kinetic energy and begin to move faster. This enables the positive and negative charged ions to collide faster with the electrodes. As more of the positive and negative
