Water Electrolysis Apparatus
Product Code : EL-GPA-11635
The Water Electrolysis Apparatus is a school chemistry apparatus used to demonstrate the decomposition of water and other conductive liquids by direct current. It is suitable for schools, colleges, chemistry laboratories, science teachers, laboratory suppliers, distributors, and educational procurement buyers teaching electrolysis and gas collection.
Product Description
The Water Electrolysis Apparatus from School Equipments India is listed under Chemistry / Gas Preparation & Analysis with Product Code EL-GPA-11635. The listing confirms platinum electrodes attached to insulated connecting rods, with binding posts mounted on a non-conducting support.
This apparatus is described as a simple and economical type of electrolysis apparatus. The support rests across the top of a battery jar or 1L beaker, which is not included, and includes two clips that each hold an inverted test tube for trapping gaseous products and estimating relative volumes.
Key Features
- Platinum electrodes: confirmed electrode material for electrolysis demonstrations.
- Insulated connecting rods: support safe connection between electrodes and binding posts.
- Non-conducting support: confirmed support material arrangement for classroom use.
- Two test tube clips: hold inverted test tubes for trapping gases formed during electrolysis.
- 6V or 10V DC operation: works with a 6V battery or 10V DC power supply.
- Gas volume comparison: enables relative gaseous volumes to be estimated during the experiment.
- Electrolysis curriculum link: suitable for teaching decomposition of conductive liquids by unidirectional current.

How to Use the Water Electrolysis Apparatus
- Place a suitable 1L beaker or battery jar on a stable laboratory bench.
- Fit the apparatus support across the top of the beaker or jar.
- Position the platinum electrodes and check that all connections are secure.
- Fill and invert the test tubes as directed by the approved electrolysis method.
- Secure the inverted test tubes using the two clips provided on the apparatus.
- Connect the binding posts to a 6V battery or 10V DC power supply.
- Observe gas formation and estimate the relative gas volumes collected.
- Switch off the power supply before dismantling or removing the apparatus.
Safety note: Use only low-voltage DC power. Do not connect the apparatus to mains electricity. Hydrogen may be produced during water electrolysis and is flammable, so the experiment must be supervised, ventilated, and kept away from flames or sparks.
Care & Maintenance
- Rinse electrodes and contact areas after use to remove electrolyte residue.
- Dry the support, binding posts, and connecting rods before storage.
- Check wires, clips, and posts for looseness, corrosion, or damage before reuse.
- Store the apparatus away from moisture, chemical vapours, and mechanical impact.
