Investigating the rate of electrolysis.
An investigation to find out what factors affect the rate of electrolysis of a solution containing copper (II) ions.
Plan
It is known that by passing a constant electric current through a copper sulphate solution the passage of ions through this solution results in copper atoms being dissolved into the solution from the anode, which has a positive charge while positive copper, ions (cations) are also being discharged at the

I also could have made sure that the crocodile clips were completely out of the electrolyte. Also I could have taken a much wider range of readings, from 2V to 20V at smaller intervals, and I could have timed for different times, and I could have investigated the other variables, such as the temperature of the electrolyte, the concentration of the electrolyte, the separation of he electrodes, and the size of the electrodes.
