Lab Number 5

Materials are on the way!

• Graduated cylinders are ordered
• Final electrode list has been made, needs to be finalized. 

• Type	Diameter (in)	Length (in)	Price
  Graduated Cylinder	1	7 7.0/8.0	$10.87
  Steel Unpolished	1.0/2.0	12	$3.06
  Aluminum Unpolished	1.0/2.0	12	$3.19
  Titanium	1.0/2.0	6	$20.11
  Copper Unpolished	1.0/2.0	12	$14.80

Once we get these materials in, we can proceed with our experiment (using the multimeter) and finalize which electrode will be used. Each electrode should be 1/4 inch in diameter and 3 inches long for the test and experiment. It is important that the surface area and connection to each electrode is identical throughout each pair. A challenge will be cutting each metal accurately.

The Final System

Once we physically get the materials, we will finalize on the size of the system. The material should be aluminum, but any easily malleable substance will be used. An acrylic window will be used to view the reaction. We have an idea to make this window accessible by using a latch. This will be challenging because when close, it needs to be water proof. A solution to this may be a rubber piece, but we are unsure at this point.
