Factors affecting mass of copper transferred in Electrolysis of aqueous copper sulphate Using copper electrodes Different possible factors that affect the mass of copper transferred could be: * concentration of copper sulphate * time left in the solution * the temperature of the solution * the voltage * surface area of the electrode * distance between the electrodes * volume of copper sulphate * current Electrochemistry is a branch of chemistry that studies the reactions which take place at the interface of an electronic conductor (the electrode composed of a metal or a semiconductor, including graphite) and an ionic conductor (the electrolyte). If a chemical reaction is caused by an external voltage, or if a voltage is caused by a chemical reaction, as in a battery, it is an electrochemical reaction. In general, electrochemistry deals with situations where an oxidation and a reduction reaction is separated in space. Electrolysis is the decomposition of certain types of substance using electricity. The types...
