TL;DR
Question about copper sulfate electrolysis
What happens at the point all the copper moves out of solution and onto electrode during electrolysis of copper sulfate? Responding with anything other than an answer with an explanation is not wanted.

Just an fyi, i learn by people showing me the answer and explaining why they think the answer they have given is correct. If i could answer the question myself i wouldn't ask for your help.

If you think I am being rude by saying how i learn best, you should replace the word rude with smart because I am taking the guesswork out of the equation and making my learning experience more effective and efficientThanks to those who actually help me like i asked, you are a good person or robot for helping me.

We end up with sulfuric acid, which is itself an electrolyte.

Thanks for warning us in advance. It's very helpful when I'm choosing whether to get involved or not.
