This requires a liquid called the electrolyte which conducts electricity. List of variables: * Concentration * Voltage * Temperature * Surface area of the electrodes * Material of electrode (we will use carbon rods) It is also of importance to discuss how these variables could affect the experiment if they were to put into operation. If there is more molar concentration in the NaCl solution then this will mean that there are more ions of NaCl in the solution. When the current will be enabled and the electrodes are put into the solution then more electrolysis will happen. However this depends on the amount of current going into the solution. The amount of current going into the solution depends on the resistance of the wires because to work out the current...
