Electrolysis investigation using Copper electrodes Aim: My aim is to find the amount of copper gain or loses on the electrodes using different amount of current each time during electrolysis. Also, how does the changing of the current and surrounding temperature effect of electrodes. Introduction: Electrolysis means, a compound is broken down by electricity, metals (or hydrogen) form of negative electrode (cathode). The non-metal form at the positive electrode (anode). We can work out how much charge passes around the circuit during electrolysis using this equation: Charge = current * time (coulombs). (amps) (second) I can measure the mass of an element formed at an electrode in an electrolysis experiment. I can then work out how much charge would give one mole of the element. In the experiment when the solution is being electrolysed it starts to decompose and at cathode this is copper formed and oxygen at the anode. Supply, which has caused a chemical change....
