Electrons at work: a selection of experiments for schools
Written by F.C. Brown and published by the English Universities Press, this book contains a broad selection of experiments designed to help students understand the close relationship between chemical activity and the movement of electrons.
The activities aim to stimulate an investigative approach. They can give valuable experience in a range of practical techniques and scientific method. The contents include activities relating to:
• the triode valve
• making a binary electrovalent compound
• taking apart a binary compound by electrolysis
• the electrolysis of copper(II) sulphate solution
• finding the value of the electron charge
• electro-plating by cathodic reduction
• oxidation at the anode
• electrode-potential
• the voltaic cell
• the conductance of water
• hydrogen ion concentration
• conductimetric titration
• redox cells
• fuel cells-specialised Redox cells
• electrons and photons
