|Purpase: To determine the Dota: purity of copper metal. by electrolysis
‘Materials : 200 em? copper (11) sulphale solution propanone.. distilled water
‘Apparatus * two 1500m$ beakers , one ce measuring cylinder, wo pieres of capper plate,
connecting wires with crocodile clips , one ammeter (0-3A) , one cheactat Cia),
one. direct current rae (GV) ,one stopwatch... ohe hair dryer, one \
elecironic balance 10.019, 4 pair of forceps
Theor:
@)—)-Faraday's First Law stales. that the arta of a substance produced af an electrode
is diraclly. proportional to the quantity of electricHy that pases thtaygh the electrolyte.
2) Faraday's Second Law _stateS that the amount of different substances produced by the
same amount of electricity is ‘Inversely proportional to the charge on the ions.
Procedures * ist : }
1) Twa pieces of capper plates are immersed in_a beaker of propanone dh init

2) By using a hair dryer. the ae of copper plates are died.
