I am looking for help to find the chemical reactions at the anode and the cathode for electrolysis of a coin as one electrode and a graphite rod as the second electrode. The reaction would be taking place in a nacl solution. Specifically we are interested in how the metal components of the coins react, as well as the reactions involving the h2o and nacl. Case 1 for a penny 95% copper, 5% zinc, and case 2 quarter 91.7 % copper and 8.3 % nickel. Thanks for any help!!!
