To try and find out if positively charged electrons deposit to the negatively charged electrons. This means, the electrons in the cathode attract electrons from the anode so they move towards the cathode from the anode.

Aim: To try and find out if positively charged electrons deposit to the negatively charged electrons. This means, the electrons in the cathode attract electrons from the anode so they move towards the cathode from the anode. Prediction: I think that as the electrons move from the anode to the cathode, the mass of the anode to the cathode, the mass of the anode decreases whilst the mass of the cathode increases. I can support the point I've made above by faradays law which is: 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." Hypothesis: The mass of the anode should decrease whilst the mass of the cathode should increase because positively charged electrons get attracted to the negatively charged electrons. This too can...
