Electrolysis of Aqueous Copper Sulfates

The video is a lecture presentation on the electrolysis of aqueous copper sulfates. It begins with an explanation of what electrolysis is and what is in the aqueous solution of the metal salt. The presenter then goes on to make some predictions about what happens during the electrolysis of aqueous copper sulfates and shows an experiment where those predictions are tested. The video covers topics such as the rules for what happens at the anode and cathode, inert electrodes, and the reactivity of metal cations. The presenter predicts that oxygen will be collected at the anode and solid copper at the cathode, which is confirmed in the experiment. The video concludes with a summary of the electrolysis of aqueous copper sulfates.
