Electrolysis Jamie Maunder Aim: The aim of the investigation is to find the amount of copper gained or lost on the electrodes using a different amounts of current each time during electrolysis. How does the changing of the current and surrounding temperature effect the electrodes? Variables: Throughout the experiment I will change the amount of current used. I will measure the weight of the electrodes after each test. To make the test fair I will be keeping the same electrodes throughout the experiment. Prediction: I predict that as the current increases the mass gained on the anode will decrease and the mass gained on the Cathode will increase. The reason that I predict this is due to what I have been taught this year about the process of electrolysis. Electrolysis is the process of decomposing the compounds by electrical energy and an element is produced at each electrode. In this case I have chosen...
