During electrolysis, positively charged ions move to the negative electrode and negatively charged ions move to the positive electrode. When compounds are electrolysed, new substances are produced at the electrodes. By passing a constant electric current through an aqueous copper sulphate solution that the passage of ions through this solution results in copper atoms being dissolved into the solution from the anode while positive copper ions being discharged at the cathode. Aim: My aim is to find out by changing the depth of the copper changes the current. These are the variable that I could have changed: 1. Time 2. Current 3. Temperature 4. Concentration of solution 5. Quantity of solution 6. Size Of electrodes 7. Distance between the electrode 8. The surface of the electrode 9. Depth of the copper in solution The variable I will be changing is the depth of the copper in the solution. The experiment carried out aimed to monitor if by changing the depth the Copper...
