I've just been explaining electrolysis to ds and related how we copper plated 20p pieces in a chemistry lesson when I was in y9.
Ds is really keen to do this but won't get to do it at school for a few years. Is this something I can safely do at home? If I get some CuSO4 solution and use copper electrodes with a 20p attached to one I'll just end up with some dilute sulphuric acid mixed in with the copper sulphate won't I?
I did chemistry to A Level so I'm not completely ignoramt here but I want to make sure I'm not missing something obvious.
