Title: Electrolysis
Date:
Aim: To investigate the electrolysis of Copper (II) sulphate using graphite electrodes.
Apparatus & Material: electrical wires, 0.5 M CuSO4 solution, pencils (graphite
electrodes), beaker, 6 V battery (DC),
Drawing: a 2-d drawing of the set-up of apparatus with labelling and a title at the bottom.
(Use the first diagram on page 187 Chemistry for CSEC for this without the bubbles
and the pink shade.)
Method:
1. The apparatus was set up as shown in the diagram above.
2. The observations seen was recorded.
3. A picture was taken of the positive electrode.
4. A diagram was drawn showing the electrolysis of CuSO4.

Observation: (Write the observations you saw)

Results:
 draw a diagram showing the electrolysis of CuSO4 while it was happening, with
correct labels and annotations where necessary. (Use the first diagram on pg. 187
for this)
 The picture taken is to be printed in colour and paste in under the diagram to show
what was form at the positive electrode.

Conclusion:
