Electrolysis of Copper Sulphate GCSE Core Practical lesson (SC10a CC10a)

(0)
This PowerPoint will allow you to deliver the GCSE 9-1 Chemistry Core Practical in which electrolysis of copper sulphate solution is performed using copper electrodes. It includes the background theory that students need to know. The experiment is complex and time-consuming, so I have suggested some short-cuts and have provided easy-to-follow methods to share with students. I’ve also included exemplar data for students to analyse if their experimental data is not sufficient. The resources are easy to follow for teachers and readily accessible for students. This is required learning for Combined and Triple Science classes, Foundation and High-tier. Other GCSE lessons (including other lessons on Electrolysis) are available from my shop. They can be purchased individually or, alongside this lesson, as part of a whole-topic bundle.
