[jordehwa]

i would like some cool electrolysis experiments i already did salt water what else can i do with electrolysis?

 

And can someone tell me what i made i had salt water and the anode and cathode was copper and the salt water turnd light blue so i dried it on a dish and had white and blue crystals what is the blue stuff?

 

i did the same thing with steel nails and the water turned green after a wile it turned orange i dried that out and it had small orange crystals so what is the orange stuff ?

Copper can give you pretty blues and greens. Iron, of course, can turn rust colored. You're also going to get some chlorine from the salt, which is a green/yellow gas.

Pay very careful attention to the safety guidelines... lead is very unhealthy stuff
