Electrolysis is the process of separating the elements of a molecule typically H2O in the classroom setting by applying a direct current to force a chemical reactionThe Hoffman Electrolysis apparatus is a robust system for performing this process in the classroom or labAn H-shaped piece of glass with two graduated tubes (up to 60ml at intervals of 0.2ml) on either side is attached to a central funnelThe tops of the H-glass are sealed with ground-glass stopcocks and the bottoms are capped with platinum electrodes.
