Chemistry Coursework Preliminary Aim: Aim 1) To investigate the amount of silver nitrate deposited on the cathode and anode when dipped in silver nitrate solution and weighed at two-minute intervals. Aim 2) To investigate the amount of silver nitrate deposited on the cathode and the anode when put into silver nitrate solution at different current levels Prediction: Faraday's First Law of electrolysis states that: "The mass of any element deposited during electrolysis is directly proportional to the number of coulombs of electricity passed" Faraday's Second Law of electrolysis states that: "The mass of an element deposited by one Faraday of electricity is equal to the atomic mass in grams of the element divided by the number of electrons required to discharge one ion of the element." By looking at Faradays current we could tell that the time is directly proportional to the current, so any changes in the time would cause changes to the...
