I plated a copper plate with a zinc plate. The process is still currently going on. The zinc sheet is so thin now it’s breaking (in the middle I also divided the zinc piece into two pieces because it seems that the copper electrode was not connected properly).
The experiment went off fine, except the fact that I left it on all night on solar power, and there was some light coming from the tube light, which caused current to pass. Unfortunately in the end, because I didn’t stop the experiment, the plating went black (either because of being left to long in acid or to much time current flowing, I don’t know). In the end when I did examine the zinc piece properly after washing did I realize that after being left so long in acid, the crystal structure of zinc had been revealed, another of Theo’s experiments. Two experiments in one go, not bad!
