Electrolysis Of Water Flashcards
The ingredients we used
Table salt, vinegar, and distilled water
What type of water did we use and why
Distilled water; it doesn’t have minerals in it so it will not mess up the outcome of the experiment
What were our electrodes
We used the alligator clips and copper wire because conduct electricity easily
Our observations
Bubbles
Chlorine gas
Hydrogen gas
Change in color clear-yellow-green- brown
What type of energy was used
Electrical energy
Our safety materials
Apron, gloves, rubber gloves, wafting
Was it a chemical or physical reaction
Chemical. We watched as the bonds were broken down and formed a new substance which is required for a physical Change
What new substances formed
Lye, chlorine gas, hydrogen and oxygen formed new bonds
What is electrolysis
The separation of elements from naturally occurring sources
Materials we used
6 volt battery, 2 alligator clips, fish tank, 2 graduated cylinders, and a copper wire
