How Does Changing The Amount of Electricity Effect How Much Copper is Deposited During Electrolysis? Plan I am going to investigate how changing the current, effects how much copper is deposited during electrolysis. The equipment I will use is as follows: - A DC power pack An ammeter 125cm³ of Copper Sulphate (CuSO4) solution A rheostat A stopwatch A thermometer Some wires 2 Copper sheets (for the anode and cathode) A beaker of water A beaker of propanone Piece of card with two slots about 4cm apart Sandpaper Electric Balance Crocodile Clips I will set up the equipment as follows: - I will cut two pieces of copper both 8cm long and 2.5cm wide. I will then sand both pieces of copper with the sand paper, so that they have a rougher edge, then I will dip it into the beaker of water then in the beaker of propanone. Then I will let it dry in the air. Doing this will ensure the anode isn't greasy, and...
