Objectives:

Construct an electrolyzer made from a proton exchnage membrane and Ti mesh electrodes, plated with platnium.

Procedure Utilized:

Standard Plating procedure

Environment:

Temperature-	NA

Barometer-	NA

Relative Humidity-	NA

Results & Conclusions:

The Ti mesh was cleaned with the following procedure.

1.	Introduce the dihydrogen chloroplatnic acid into the Hcl solution.

2.	Pass a current of approximately 20-40 mA through the soultion.

3.	Reverse polarity on the electrode after a period of one hour.

The leads used to plate the soultion were acid burned, the electrode were destroyed by poisioning and the solution is worthless.
