What's Included in the Kit
1 x Electrode Carbon Rod (Bulk pack quantities available upon specific institutional request)
1 x Technical Handling and Safety Instruction Sheet
Applications / Uses
Demonstrating water electrolysis to separate and collect hydrogen and oxygen gases.
Serving as a non-reactive anode or cathode during copper sulfate electroplating demonstrations.
Exploring foundational voltaic cells, half-reactions, and battery concepts within comprehensive science kits.
Utilizing as a dependable component inside classic Hoffman voltameters or simple beaker-based electrochemical setups.
How to Use the Electrode Carbon Rod
Insert the carbon rod firmly into your designated electrochemical cell holder or pass it through an appropriately sized rubber stopper.
Attach an insulated alligator clip lead from your low-voltage DC power supply directly to the clean, exposed top section of the rod.
Submerge the lower portion of the graphite rod into your prepared electrolyte solution, ensuring the clip connection stays completely dry.
Apply a safe, low voltage (typically 3V to 12V DC) to witness immediate gas evolution or surface metal deposition.
Safety Note: Never adjust clips or touch the active graphite rods while the electrical power supply is switched on. Always carry out electrochemical experiments in a well-ventilated laboratory environment.
Care & Maintenance
Rinse the rod thoroughly with distilled water immediately after every experiment to dissolve residual salts or chemical films.
Allow the porous carbon surface to air-dry completely before storing it back inside its protective slots.
Handle the rod with care; avoid dropping it or applying lateral pressure, as structural graphite is brittle and can fracture under sudden impacts.
