What Effects the Reaction in the Electrolysis of Copper Sulphate I will investigate what affects the reaction in the electrolysis of copper sulphate. In order to investigate what affects the reaction I will electrolyse a copper sulphate solution using two copper electrodes. As these electrodes participate in the reaction they are called active electrodes. I will set up my experiment as shown in the diagram: I will pour 75cm3 of copper sulphate solution into a beaker. This amount is sufficient to fully cover the electrodes. I will weigh both the electrodes before the experiment using an electronic scale. I will connect the electrodes to a power source and an ammeter as shown in the diagram above. I will run the experiment for the duration which I have explained later in this plan. Then when the experiment has ended I will turn off the power and take out the electrodes. I will...
