Electrolysis of Copper Sulphate By Ali Hlaiyil Introduction/Initial Research: Electrolysis is the production of useful elements as compounds by using electrical energy and converting it into chemical energy. The reaction takes place when electricity is passed through a circuit, which at one point is split by 2 electrodes, which are dipped into a solution called the electrolyte. The electrodes must be made of a conductive metal, that wither needs to be plated, or is needed in the production of Hydrogen, or other gases. The electrolyte which is a compound solution made up of many elements, is split up into individual elements or even small compounds when the electricity is turned on and passed through the electrodes and into the water. When this happens, the positive ions move towards the negative anode, and the negative ions in the mixture move to the now positive cathode. At the cathode an element is collected, and usual plates the electrode,...
