The discussion revolves around calculating the current during the electrolysis of water using a 9V battery and 1 liter of water. Participants explore the factors affecting current flow, including resistance and the presence of gas bubbles on electrodes.
Participants express differing views on the predictability of current during electrolysis, with some suggesting methods to measure and calculate it, while others highlight the complications introduced by gas formation. There is no consensus on a definitive method for calculating current in this context.
Limitations include the dependence on the specific setup, the need for electrolytes to facilitate dissociation, and the unresolved impact of gas accumulation on current flow.
This discussion may be useful for individuals interested in electrolysis, electrical resistance, and experimental setups involving current flow in solutions.
Predicting the current is not possible. I presume you will add electrolyte so some water dissociates to gases? As soon as DC flows bubbles of gas start to accumulate on the electrodes and this interferes with their conduction of current into the solution. For more current, you can try larger electrodes with their larger surface area, but these, too, will become coated with gas. You can agitate the vessel or components to try to dislodge some bubbles and the situation certainly reaches an equilibrium, but I don't think it is easily predicted.lasha1 said:I want to know how to conduct I ampere current through solution.
For example i have 9V battery and 1 liter of water and i conducted electricity through water. How to calculate the current ?
