ChE-455/555: Analysis of Electrochemical Systems

Lab Sessions

Working Teams

The lab sessions will be used to perform experiments that will allow you practicing the concepts presented during the mentoring sessions. You will perform the following experiments:

1.     Lab I: Electrolysis

2.     Lab II: Electroplating

3.     Lab III: Fuel Cells

Lab Reports:  You will write a short report (maximum 5 pages) describing and discussing the findings observed during the experimental sessions. Your report should include the following sections:

  1. Cover page
  2. Data
  3. Results and Discussion: discuss and answer the questions posted in the experiment handout
  4. Calculations

 Your behavior during the experiment will be observed and it will be considered in your report grade (lab attitude, 5 points). More details about lab grading are given in the lab grading sheet. All results and data must include uncertainties. Use propagation of error to determine uncertainties, for more details see “propagation of error #1” and “propagation of error #3” at http://webche.ent.ohiou.edu/che416/syll416w_2003.html
