Electrolysis of Water Model Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-CA-12482

The Electrolysis of Water Model is an educational chemistry apparatus used for demonstrating the decomposition of water by direct electric current and collecting the resulting gaseous components for comparison. Designed for school chemistry laboratories, teachers and students, it provides a practical method for studying electrolysis, electrodes and gas evolution.

Product Description

The Electrolysis of Water Model uses platinum electrodes attached to insulated connecting rods, which connect to binding posts mounted on a non-conducting support. The support rests across the top of a 1 L beaker, which is not included, while two clips hold inverted test tubes for collecting gases produced during electrolysis.

The apparatus operates from a 6 V battery or 10 V DC power supply. It enables the gaseous components formed during electrolysis to be trapped and their relative volumes estimated. Although designed primarily for water electrolysis, the verified product information also states that it can be used with other aqueous solutions and for electroplating demonstrations with the help of two clips.

Key Features

• Platinum electrodes: The apparatus includes platinum electrodes attached to insulated connecting rods.
• Two gas-collection clips: Each clip supports an inverted test tube for collecting gases produced during electrolysis.
• Dual power compatibility: Operates from a 6 V battery or a 10 V DC power supply.
• Supports quantitative comparison: Allows the relative volumes of gaseous products to be estimated.
• Non-conducting support: Binding posts are mounted on a non-conducting support for organised experimental setup.
• Suitable for aqueous solutions: Can support electrolysis experiments with water and other appropriate aqueous solutions.
• Supports electroplating demonstrations: The apparatus may also be used to demonstrate electroplating with suitable electrodes and clips.

How to Use the Electrolysis of Water Model

1. Place a suitable 1 L beaker on a stable laboratory surface.
2. Position the apparatus support across the top of the beaker.
3. Arrange the inverted test tubes in the two supplied clips for gas collection.
4. Add the teacher-approved electrolyte and solution required for the intended experiment.
5. Connect the apparatus to a 6 V battery or 10 V DC power supply.
6. Observe gas formation at the electrodes and collect the gases in the inverted test tubes.
7. Compare the relative gas volumes and disconnect the power after completing the experiment.

Safety and handling note: Perform electrolysis only under qualified supervision. Use appropriate eye protection, suitable laboratory procedures and compatible solutions. Keep ignition sources away from collected hydrogen and never exceed the verified electrical rating.

Care & Maintenance

• Rinse compatible wetted components after experiments and dry them before storage.
• Handle the platinum electrodes carefully and avoid unnecessary bending or abrasion.
• Keep binding posts and electrical connections clean and dry.
• Store the apparatus where the support, electrodes and connecting rods are protected from impact.
