Brownlee Electrolysis Apparatus

Brownlee Electrolysis Apparatus is a useful device for the study of electrolysis. The unit includes an electrode assembly and two glass test tubes. The electrode assembly consists of two platinum electrodes set into insulated wires which terminate in binding posts mounted on a support. When electric current passes through a chemical compound or solution, the potential difference between electrodes will cause its charged constituents or ions to move in opposite directions. This process is called electrolysis. This is a great set for use as a teaching aid in the classroom, or for a science project.

Features:

• Two glass test tubes
• Electrode assembly
• Consists of two platinum electrodes with insulated wires
• Binding posts mounted on support
• Demonstrates principles of electrolysis
• Excellent for science projects

Note: This unit needs to be used with a glass beaker or jar with 5% to 10% H2SO4 solution, and a 6V battery or 10 V DC power supply (not included).
