  1. How to Electrolyse Water: An Easy Experiment

    Simple Experiment to Electrolyse Water. Push two metal pins through the bottom of a plastic cup. Fill the cup with salt water and put the pins on a 9-volt battery. One pin will produce hydrogen gas and the other will produce oxygen. Put two test tubes over the pins to see the gases separate. Part 1.

  3. Electrolysis of Water Experiment

    Electrolysis of Water Experiment. Energy is stored in the bonds of molecules. When these bonds split apart, the energy released can be used to do work. Breaking apart liquid water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen gas creates an enormous amount of energy, which can be turned into useful electricity to power our homes and cars.

  4. Electrolysis

    The practical experiment shown in this video is the electrolysis of aqueous copper (II) sulfate. Technician notes and integrated instructions are offered for this experiment. To avoid confusion, electrolysis should be introduced at the basic level by looking at the electrolysis of molten substances, coupling the theory with a video or teacher ...

    In this experiment, electric current moves from the battery through pencils to water and salt. Water is decomposed into oxygen and hydrogen gas as it is made...

  6. Splitting Water

    Splitting water into its two components is much easier to do and is called water electrolysis. Making hydrogen or oxygen this way seems simple, but as you probably suspected, this reverse reaction needs an input of energy, which is why it is also called an endothermic reaction. In water electrolysis, the source of energy used for the reaction ...

  7. How to Make Oxygen and Hydrogen from Water Using Electrolysis

    1. Connect one end of each alligator clip to the terminals of the battery. The battery is what actually produces the electrical current and so the alligator clips provide the pathway for transporting that current to the water. You need to attach one clip to the positive terminal and one to the negative terminal. [5]

  9. PDF Electrolysis of water

    Separating the word "electrolysis" into its component parts summarizes its meaning—using electricity (electro-) to break apart (-lysis) something. In this demonstration, the electricity sup-plied by a 9-volt battery is used to break apart water molecules, overall producing hydrogen and oxygen gases.

  10. PDF Electrolysis of Water

    By adding electricity to water and providing a path for the different particles to follow, the water can be separated into hydrogen and oxygen. In this experiment you will be taking a sample of salt water and add a flow of electricity to it (the electrolysis). You will see the hydrogen and oxygen. 2. bubbling up.

  12. Chemistry for kids

    Hi, I think this experiment is great, but I just want to point out that your explanation of the electrolysis of water is incorrect. You cited Wikipedia, but you have misinterpreted the information presented there. Water is NOT an ionic substance and the hydrogens and oxygen don't simply pull apart and collect at the different electrodes.

  13. Identifying the products of electrolysis

    In this practical, students get the chance to practise doing electrolysis with a range of solutions, identifying the products that form at the electrodes. They should be able to link their practical experience with theory and learn how to construct simple ionic equations. The class experiment is best done by students working in pairs or threes.

  14. Electrolysis of Water Experiment

    The purpose of the simple experimental setup described here is to demonstrate the electrolysis of water. Proper knowledge on the chemical composition of water will help school children achieve the aim of the project and comprehend the associated theory. Water Electrolysis (Splitting) Experiment Hypothesis On passing electricity through water, it splits (or electrolyzes) to give

  15. Electrolysis of Water

    The main aim of this experiment is to study the 'electrolysis of water'. Let us understand first what is the electrolysis of water. Electrolysis of water is the process of decomposing water into hydrogen and oxygen gas by passing electricity through its aqueous solution (water). 2 H2O (l) + electrical energy ? 2 H2 (g) + O2 (g) To perform this experiment, we require apparatus and materials ...
