Electric Art Demonstration Kit (Materials For 5 Demonstrations)

• Kit demonstrating an electrolytic cell
• Make electrical art that changes color based on whether copper is the cathode or anode
• Great demonstration for chemistry classrooms and labs
• Kit contains enough material to perform the demonstration 5 times
• Includes SDSs for all materials, teacher’s manual, and student study guide copymasters

A copper “pen” will be used to electrolyze a solution of potassium iodide and draw on a piece of filter paper. The color of the “ink” will change depending on whether the copper is acting as the cathode or the anode in the electrolytic cell. There are enough materials to complete the demonstration 5 times.
