Effect of increasing charge on mass of copper deposited during electrolysis Aim: It is known that 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 (cations) are being discharged at the cathode. The experiment I will carry out is aimed to monitor the quantity of Copper (Cu) metal deposited during the electrolysis of Copper Sulphate solution (CuSo4) using Copper electrodes, when certain variables were changed. Plan Diagram Method My apparatus for this experiment will be: * A Power Pack * 2 Copper electrodes * An ammeter * Wire, with clips * A beaker I will pour the Copper Sulphate solution into a small beaker. I will then weigh the electrodes and record their masses. I will then place the electrodes into the beaker containing Copper Sulphate solution. I will then connect the electrodes to the...
