Chemistry course-work Electrochemistry Aim: To test how the amount of electricity effects the liberation of copper ions, during electrolysis. Scientific Ideas The prediction of this experiment should be easily done. After gathering all the information about electrochemistry and researching about redox reactions the predictions should be as accurate as possible. Two laws which need to be taken into account are that discovered by Michael Faraday. The first laws states that the quantity of material transformed at each electrode is proportional to the amount of electricity passed through. The second law states that the weight of the elements transformed is proportional to the equivalent weights of the elements, that is, to the atomic weights of the elements divided by their valences (the effective charge) i.e. the equivalent weight = ATOMIC WEIGHT CHARGE My prediction will be base on these two laws. Other background ideas which will help my attempt at a prediction is my knowledge on electrolysis and my...
