ok, so i did a lab called: measurements using electrochemical cels and electroplating, and one of the post lab questions asks,if the student fails to dry the electrode, in this case (Cu+2), what effect does it have on the calculated value of Faraday? and what affect does it have on the calculated avogadro's #?, so i am pretty sure it would help decrease the mass even more, and erode the metal even more, because i observed the other electrode (Zn), it it was never washed with distilled water, and then massed, and then put back into H2SO4, and the Zn electrode became very flimsy, and started to break off, which i am assuming is what would happen to the copper? could you tell me if i am right or wrong, and why or why not?
