Electrolysis Apparatus
Product Code : SCL-PL-12374
Electrolysis Apparatus (SKU SCL-PL-12374) demonstrates the electrolysis of water and collects the hydrogen and oxygen that form at the two electrodes in separate graduated test tubes. It is used in school chemistry and physics labs for the chemical effect of current, decomposition reactions and electrolysis topics. Science Lab Supplies manufactures the apparatus in Saha, Ambala, India (Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area) and delivers direct to schools, colleges, distributors and tender contractors.
Specifications
Two removable titanium electrodes are mounted in a rubber stopper and wired to 4 mm safety sockets for connection to a DC source. Two graduated test tubes, 18 × 180 mm, are inverted over the electrodes to collect the gases. The apparatus stands 80 mm high on a base 160 mm in diameter.

Applications and Experiments for the Electrolysis Apparatus
Passing direct current through water splits it into hydrogen at the cathode and oxygen at the anode. Because each gas collects in its own graduated tube, students can compare volumes, see the roughly 2:1 ratio and test each gas, which makes this set a core item of school physics lab equipment in India.
- Class 8 science: chemical effects of electric current.
- Class 10 science: electrolysis of water as a decomposition reaction.
- Class 12 chemistry: electrolysis and the relation between charge passed and gas produced.
- B.Sc. and diploma labs: electrolysis demonstrations using a measured DC current.
Hydrogen collected in the tubes is flammable: keep flames away except for a controlled test of a small sample, and run the experiment only under teacher supervision.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each set includes the base with two removable titanium electrodes in a rubber stopper, the 4 mm safety sockets and two graduated 18 × 180 mm test tubes. A DC source is needed to run it; the quotation shows whether one is included or can be added as a separate line.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Science Lab Supplies can quote a single electrolysis set for teacher demonstration or several for group work. Your quotation states the packing, delivery time and price for the chosen quantity, and a power supply, ammeter or leads can be included on it as well.
Registered as an exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa and Qatar. Please send requirements through the contact page or add items to the enquiry cart; the lab tender page covers tender supply.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the electrodes made of?
The Electrolysis Apparatus uses removable titanium electrodes mounted in a rubber stopper. Being removable, they can be taken out for cleaning and drying after each practical session.
Is the experiment safe for a school class?
It runs from a DC source and produces hydrogen and oxygen, and the gas mixture is flammable. Keep open flames away, test gases only in small amounts, and work under teacher supervision.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies is the manufacturer of this set, which is made at its Saha, Ambala factory in India. Enquiries and quotations are handled by the factory directly.
Related Electrochemistry Bench Items
The electrolysis cell needs a steady DC source, a way to measure the current and reliable leads. These four items complete the setup for school and college electrolysis practicals, whether the cell is run from a bench supply or from batteries, and can be quoted together with the apparatus.
- AC/DC Laboratory Power Supply — stabilized DC output in 1 V steps.
- Ammeter — analog 0–10 A meter to record the current.
- Battery Holder — for running the cell from batteries.
- Alligator Leads Heavy Duty — leads for connecting the source.
