The Electrolysis of Copper Sulphate Solution using Copper Electrodes!!! 1)Introduction: My GCSE Chemistry assignment is based on the topic ELECTROLYSIS. Electrolysis only occurs only in presence of electricity, and moves around a circuit. Electrolysis is defined as the flow of charge. 2)Aim: I want to find out the loss of mass of anode when electrolysing copper electrodes using copper sulphate solution for different speeds of the current. The aim for this investigation is to see how current affects the amount of copper deposited. 3)Prediction and Background Science: It is possible to predict that the relationship will directly proportional between the time the current flows and the mass of copper deposited on the cathode. Therefore I can predict that if I double the amount of current the amount of copper deposited would become higher. Both Faraday's laws therefore support my prediction: - FARADAY'S FIRST LAW OF ELECTROLYSIS STATES: "The mass of an element deposited during electrolysis is directly proportional to...
