What Affects The Rate of Electrolysis Of Copper Chloride Solution? Introduction We are going to find out what things affect the rate of Electrolysis and to find this out we will use Copper chloride salt dissolved in water to form a solution. The salt is dissolved in water because chemical compounds when in a molten state or when dissolved in water exist in the form of ions that are capable of movement, meaning their molecules become dissociated into positively and negatively charged components, which have the property of conducting an electric current. A compound that conducts when molten or in solution is called an electrolyte. When some substances dissolve they change slightly, their atoms are no longer neutral, neither positive nor negative. The negative atoms lose their electrons so the atoms become positive. These particles are no longer known as atoms but ions. The positive ions are called anode. The negative ions...
