Planning Experimental Procedure Affecting Factors - A list off all the possible factors, which would affect the resistance of a cell. * Exposed Area of Electrodes - An electrode with a larger exposed (to the solution) surface area would mean, the electrodes would not limit that rate of electrolysis. The larger the surface is, the higher the rate of electrolysis, due to there being a larger amount of copper, which can ionise. The surface are of the electrodes should be maintained the same. * Purity of Electrodes - The higher the purity of the electrodes, the lower the resistance. This is because there are n other elements which could get in the way, and therefore increase the resistance of the solution. * Voltage - In all cases, increasing the voltage will decrease the resistance. In this case, the greater the voltage, the greater charge on the electrodes and so the greater the attraction for...
