lukejian Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 what are some factors that affect the voltage of electrolysis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanntrude Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 the voltage is usually set by the user. for instance if i used a 9V battery, the voltage would be 9V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDG Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Might find a few ideas here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPanic Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Indeed, the user sets the voltage. But there is a minimum needed, which depends on the type of reaction (so on the two half reactions). The concentration of the reactants too. The pH might be an issue, but this can be considered part of the previous point (concentrations). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cuthber Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 If you are stuck looking at some bit of science with nothing to do it's often worth wondering "What happens if I change the temperature or pressure?". Of course, if you have better things to do than wonder that then please feel free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
