Title : ELECTROLYSIS 1 Aim : To observe the process of electrolysis Apparatus : wires , 9 V battery , bulb , paper clips , watch glasses , solutions : sodium chloride , sulphuric acid , water benzene , ethanol , silver nitrate , soln. x , copper sulphate Directions : Set up a circuit using the paper clips as electrodes . Carefully note the positive and negative poles . Using various chemical substances test to see if a current is conducted . Also observe the electrodes for bubbles , deposits and any other change in the intensity of the light bulb . Tabulate your observation and draw reasonable conclusions about the nature of the chemical substances and their ability to conduct a current . Criteria : OBSERVATION AND RECORDING ; 20 mks for accuracy of observation . re : light bulb , bubbles at electrodes , change in solution , ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION discussion as to the nature of solutions 16 mks i.e. ionic or covalent , electrolyte or non-electrolyte , strong or weak , electrode equations 4 mks
