Electrolysis - Experiment Setup
(The Electro-Splitter)
Let's check our Apparatus & Electrolytes before we start.
Glass Beaker
Graphite Rods
Battery
Connecting Wires
Sodium Chloride
(NaCl)
Dilute Sulfuric Acid
(H₂SO₄)
Copper(II) Sulfate
(CuSO₄)
Molten Lead Bromide
(PbBr₂)
Today we will simulate using Sodium Chloride (NaCl).
Sodium Ion (Positive)
It loses an electron to the negative Cathode.
Chlorine Ion (Negative)
It brings an extra electron to the positive Anode.
Step 1: Add the NaCl (aq) to the water!
