    Increasing the mass of copper used in an electroplating experiment with silver in a copper sulfate solution affects the rate of electroplating, with a higher mass of copper resulting in a faster rate of silver deposition as measured by the change in mass over time. The rate of electroplating, or Δmass/time, increases as more copper is used because having more copper provides more surface area for the silver ions in solution to deposit and plate onto. Heavier pieces of copper will electroplate silver from a copper sulfate solution faster than lighter pieces of copper.
