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.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
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.
