Chemistry sc1 - the electrolysis of copper from copper sulphate solution Plan: The experiment that I have carried out is to find out how different concentrations of copper sulphate affect the electrolysis of copper. To measure the affect that the different copper sulphate solution concentrations have on the electrolysis of copper, I will use current as my unit of measurement to see how the experiment was affected. From the results that I have found, I can use Faraday's Law and turn the figures into coulombs. I predict that when the concentration of the copper sulphate solution is increased, then the current will also increase. The reason for this follows a well-known theory, the collision theory. The theory tells us that with more particles involved (in this case the higher concentration containing more particles) the more energy you will have. The reason is simple; more particles mean more collision between them, which therefore...
