Electrolysis of Aqueous Copper Sulfates: Analysis and Conclusion

The video tutorial covers the electrolysis of aqueous copper sulfate using copper electrodes. It begins with an introduction to the hypothesis that increasing current increases the mass of copper deposited on the cathode. The experiment setup is detailed, followed by the procedure and results. A graph is plotted to analyze the relationship between current and mass change, showing a proportional relationship. The conclusion confirms the hypothesis and notes that the mass change at the anode is equal and opposite to the cathode. The video ends with a summary of findings and encouragement for assessments.

What were the results of Matt's experiment in relation to his hypothesis?

Explain the relationship between the current and the change in mass of the cathode as observed in the experiment.

What conclusion can be drawn about the mass of copper deposited on the cathode and the mass lost by the anode?
