SC1 Chemistry Hayleigh Perks 11A1 11C1 Investigating the rate of electrolysis. An investigation to find out what factors affect the rate of electrolysis of a solution containing copper (II) ions. Plan It is known that by passing a constant electric current through a copper sulphate solution the passage of ions through this solution results in copper atoms being dissolved into the solution from the anode, which has a positive charge while positive copper, ions (cations) are also being discharged at the cathode which has a negative charge. Normally anions, which have a negative charge, are discharged at the anode. The experiment I will be carrying out is aimed to observe the amount of Copper (Cu) metal deposited during the electrolysis of Copper Sulphate solution (CuSo4) using Copper electrodes, when certain variables are changed In this investigation I will change variables within the experiment, which will hopefully change the rate of reaction and also the deposit of copper metal...
