Improvised Electrolysis

Apparatus
HELLO!
I am Loreen Jane!
Presenting to you my own Improvised
Electrolysis Apparatus

2
 Materials
✘ Ruler
✘ Glue
✘ Lighted candle
✘ Cutter
✘ Dry cells (9 V)
✘ 2 bulldog paper clips
✘ 3 disposable syringes (10 ml) 2 metal screws( 2 x 8)
✘ 2 connecting wires (black and red)
✘ Iron nail (6 cm)
✘ Plastic bottle (1L)
✘ Dextrose tube (6 cm)
Note:
3 In making the apparatus, I decided to use small pink bulldog clips instead of black, big clips so it is not heavy for the dextrose tube to
carry.
 Procedure

✘ Remove the plungers of

the disposable 10 ml
syringes and attach the
base of the syringes by
heating it in a lighted
candle.

4
 ✘ Insert each tip of the
syringe inside the
dextrose tube then bend
the straw to close it
using the bulldog paper
clip.

5
 ✘ Divide the bottle into two
with 5 cm long from the
bottom (sample container),
and 6 cm long (serves as a
stand) from the cutting line.

✘ I attached the sample

container and the supporting
stand so it will be sturdy. I
also covered it with electrical
6
tape so it will look neat.
 ✘ Measure and mark lines the distances
between the centers of the syringes, and
using the iron nail, make a hole at the
bottom of the cup and insert the metal
screw through each hole by rotating the
screw until ¼ nail is out at the bottom of
the bottle.
✘ I pasted glue on the screw so there will
be no leakage.
✘ I make two 2cm x 2cm squares at the
side by side of the stand which serves as
the passage way of the connecting wire
7 clipped into the screw.
 ✘ Connect the red and black wires to
each metal screws.
✘ At the bottom of the apparatus,
connect red wire to the positive
terminal of the dry cell and black
wire to the negative terminal of the
dry cell.

 ✘ I prepared a solution of iodized salt and water to determine
if the apparatus is functioning. The solution bubbles.
