To Investigate how Voltage affects Copper Sulphate Electrolysis
To Investigate how Voltage affects Copper Sulphate Electrolysis! In this investigation I’ve decided to take ten copper strips and put them in the same solution, but different beakers (two in each beaker). They’ll be attached to power packs and I’m going to vary the voltage, ranging from 2V to 12V. ... I would need 60ml of the Copper Sulphate solution in each beaker, because it’s enough to cover at least 2cm of the copper strips. ... How big should my Copper Strips be? ... Apparatus I will need the following apparatus: Copper Sulphate Solution (CuSO4) Copper Strips Power Pack Crocodile Clips Red and Black Wire to attach Copper Strips to Power Pack Electronic Scales Measuring Cylinder Ruler (To measure copper strips to size) Scissors (To cut the copper strips to size) Stop Clock Beakers Safety Precautions To be safe I will wear safety goggles, tie my hair back, pull back long sleeves and be extra careful with the Copper Sulphate because it is an irritant.
