Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of teaching aids technology, and in particular to an experimental instrument for teaching water electrolysis. Background Technology
[0002] The electrolysis of water experiment, a fundamental experiment in high school chemistry to explore the structure of water molecules and the constituent elements of water, is also one of the classic experiments in this subject. Water molecules are composed of hydrogen and oxygen; when an electric current passes through water, hydrogen and oxygen gases are produced. During the experiment, oxygen is produced in the positive electrode region, and hydrogen is produced in the negative electrode region. In current high school chemistry teaching, the electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen experiment has become an indispensable part of teaching equipment. However, when teachers demonstrate the experiment or students perform actual operations, multiple experimental instruments are usually required, which not only increases the complexity of the operation, but also requires igniting hydrogen gas to observe the pale blue flame for verification. This involves numerous instruments and complex operations, which can easily lead to danger. Therefore, a water electrolysis hydrogen production experimental device that facilitates observation of the hydrogen combustion flame and is easy to operate is proposed.
[0003] Utility model disclosure CN216596646U discloses a teaching device for electrolytic water hydrogen production, comprising: a power base and a water injection pipe. The power base is a DC power supply, with electrode plates connected to both poles at the top. A power switch is located on the front of the power base. The bottom of the water injection pipe is connected to a connecting pipe, one end of which is connected to a negative electrode tube, and the end of the connecting pipe away from the negative electrode tube is connected to a positive electrode tube. The bottoms of the negative and positive electrode tubes are mounted on the top of the power base with waterproof adhesive. The two electrode plates are located inside the negative and positive electrode tubes, respectively. An opening is provided at the top of the water injection pipe. While the disclosed document provides a portable teaching device for electrolytic water hydrogen production, it lacks the ability to control the hydrogen flow rate and observe the pale blue flame of hydrogen upon ignition, thus failing to fully verify the electrolysis results.

This invention integrates the base 1, connecting pipe 2, water inlet pipe 3, electrode pipes 4, electrodes 5, exhaust pipe 6, flexible hose 7, and pointed exhaust pipe 13 to achieve an integrated teaching aid for hydrogen production by water electrolysis. This reduces the difficulty of experimental operation, and the electrolysis results can be verified by igniting hydrogen at the end of the pointed exhaust pipe. To facilitate teaching experiments, a rechargeable power supply is used.
[0031] The electrode tube 4 is composed of two sections with different diameters connected end to end, with the larger diameter end on top and the smaller diameter end on the bottom. By setting the electrode tube 4 to two sections with different diameters, with the larger diameter end on top and the smaller diameter end on the bottom, the water in the electrode tube 4 is prevented from rushing upwards when hydrogen is ignited, thus preventing a safety hazard.

[0034] A spherical funnel 8 is provided at the top of the water inlet pipe 3; the spherical funnel 8 at the top of the water inlet pipe facilitates the addition of water to the experimental instruments.
[0035] A drain hole 10 is provided on one side of the connecting pipe 2, and a gate is provided on the drain hole 10. The drain hole 10 facilitates the discharge of remaining water from the connecting pipe 2 when the experiment is completed.
[0036] The exhaust pipe 6 is connected to the hose 7 through a tapered port 11 with a gradually decreasing diameter; the connection between the exhaust pipe and the hose 7 via the tapered port 11 restricts the flow of gas into the hose 7, ensuring the safety of the experiment.
[0037] A spherical buffer 12 is provided in the middle of the exhaust pipe 6; the spherical buffer is provided to prevent water from rushing out of the exhaust pipe when the gas is burning.

[0039] The electrode tube 4, connecting tube 2, water inlet tube 3, and exhaust tube 6 are made of transparent material.
[0040] The working principle and usage of this utility model are as follows: When conducting the hydrogen production experiment by electrolysis of water, first open the cork and add water from the inlet pipe 3 until the water fills the electrode tube 4 to the bottom of the exhaust pipe 6. At this time, connect the wire of the electrode 5 to the external power supply to start the water electrolysis experiment. Hydrogen gas will be generated at the end connected to the negative terminal of the external power supply. At this time, the volume of hydrogen gas generated is measured by the scale of the larger part of the diameter of the electrode tube 4. When the required volume of hydrogen gas is generated, open the valve of the nozzle exhaust pipe 13 to let the hydrogen gas flow out and ignite. A pale blue flame can then be observed.
