Electrolysis C/W contd. Variables help

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around improving coursework on electrolysis, specifically focusing on expanding the understanding of various variables affecting the process. Key variables include time, current, temperature, type of solution, molarity, charge of ions, quantity of solution, size and distance between electrodes, and their surface area. There is a query about the relationship between distance and surface area, noting that while distance affects solution resistance, it does not change the surface area exposed to electrolysis. Clarifications are sought regarding the charge of ions and the quantity of solution, with a specific mention of how charge relates to the number of electrons involved. Overall, the thread emphasizes the need for deeper insights into these variables to enhance the coursework.

I have the marked draft of my coursework, its 36/40 but I need to improve 3 things. I need to expand on the Variables I have listed on my coursework, i have done half of them but I am having trouble on the others. Heres the vaiables, the bold is what I've added. Any help is much appreciated, :smile:
Thanks, Adam

• Time – how long electrolysation happens for

• Current – how many amps travel to the electrode

• Temperature – effects particles kinetic energy

• Solution – type of ion

• Molarity of solution – mols/cm3 ; number of ions

• Charge of Ions -

• Quantity of solution -

• Size of electrodes -

• Distance between electrodes -

• Surface area of electrodes -

P.s Am i right in thinking the bottom three would be the same ; area exposed to electrolysation.

Could anyone help?
 
Distance between electrodes doesn't change their surface, but it changes the solution resistance.
 
Thankyou, would Charge be : amount/strength of charge and what would quantity be :/
 
Charge of ion is number of electrons that is has to gain (or lose) to become neutral.

Isnt charge like this though - 1.6 x 〖10〗^(-19) Charge for every unit, so Cu2+ has a charge and 3.2 x 〖10〗^(-19) C and Fe3+ has a charge of 4.8 x 〖10〗^(-19) C.
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
Thread 'How to find the pH of a galvanic cell (MIT OCW problem set)'
This is the final problem in this problem set from MIT OCW. Here is what I did to try to solve it The table cited in the problem is below We can easily spot the two redox couples that are in the electrochemical cell we are given. The hydrogen-based electrode has standard potential zero, and the silver-based electrode has standard potential 0.22. Thus, the hydrogen electrode, with the lower potential, is the reducing agent (ie, it is where oxidation happens) and is the anode. Electrons...
