Hi, my names Adam, this is my first post I am in year 10 UK (10th grade i believe)
This is not a homework question, its advice towards the analysis of my chemistry coursework.
Im predicted an A* in chemistry so this is why my experiment is more complicated than others in my class.I based my experiment on electrolysis, I changed the charge of the ions, referring to the formula I=nAve, by increasing charge of ions (e), current (I) will increase, which is directly proportional to moles deposited. I weighed the cathode before and after using my 3 electrolytes, which had a charge of +1,+2 and +3. I noticed the trend i would expect, higher charge = higher mass deposited thus higher moles deposited. This may sound stupid, but why is the weight higher, do higher charge ions have a higher mass? are more attracted to the cathode? can you explain the weight difference.
Many Thanks, Adam
