Student Water Decomposition Device

Product Code : SCL-EI-10640

The Student Water Decomposition Device is an educational electrolysis apparatus manufactured and exported by Lab Glassware Manufacturer, based in Ambala, Haryana, India, serving science education markets since 1982. This device is supplied to school chemistry and physics laboratories across Southeast Asia, including Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia, helping students in the region observe and understand the decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen gases through a supervised classroom demonstration.

Quick answer: The Student Water Decomposition Device is used to demonstrate water electrolysis in schools — electric current from a low-voltage DC power supply passes through water containing an approved electrolyte, and gas bubbles form at the electrodes as the water splits into hydrogen and oxygen. It is intended for supervised use by students under a teacher or laboratory technician, and the exact vessel capacity, electrode material, tube arrangement, and power rating should be confirmed with Lab Glassware Manufacturer before publication or tender submission.

Key Features

• Student apparatus for demonstrating water decomposition by electrolysis.

• Supports observation of hydrogen and oxygen gas generation under supervised conditions.
• Suitable for school chemistry labs, physics labs, STEM kits, and practical demonstrations.
• Can be used with a low-voltage DC power supply and appropriate laboratory accessories.
• Clear experiment format helps students link theory, observation, and recording.
• Designed for controlled educational use by trained teachers or lab technicians.

What's Included

• 1 x Student Water Decomposition Device
• Electrode assembly, if supplied in the confirmed configuration
• Protective packing for safe storage and transport
• Optional connecting leads, stand, low-voltage power supply, electrolyte, or activity guide only if specified in the order

Applications / Uses

• Demonstrating electrolysis of water in school laboratories.
• Introducing hydrogen and oxygen gas formation at electrodes.
• Teaching electrolyte function, ion movement, and DC circuit behaviour.
• Supporting STEM lessons on energy conversion and electrochemistry.
• Using with compatible Laboratory Glassware measuring apparatus.
• Pairing with Safety Protective Wears for structured laboratory handling.

How to Use the Student Water Decomposition Device

1. Place the device on a stable, dry laboratory bench.
2. Fill the apparatus as instructed by the teacher or product guide.
3. Add only the approved electrolyte and quantity specified for the experiment.
4. Connect the electrodes to a suitable low-voltage DC power supply.
5. Switch on the supply and observe gas bubbles forming at the electrodes.
6. Switch off the supply before disconnecting leads, removing electrodes, or emptying the device.

Safety note: Hydrogen and oxygen gases are produced during water electrolysis. Use small classroom quantities, good ventilation, eye protection, and teacher supervision; keep the apparatus away from flames, sparks, and hot surfaces, and handle gases in small quantities away from ignition sources.

Care & Maintenance

• Rinse the device after use according to the electrolyte and material compatibility.
• Dry the apparatus before storage to reduce corrosion and residue buildup.
• Inspect electrodes, leads, seals, and glass or plastic parts before each experiment.
• Replace cracked vessels, corroded electrodes, damaged leads, or leaking seals before reuse.

Electrolysis and Hydrogen Energy Teaching Aids

The Student Water Decomposition Device introduces the basic principle of electrolysis — using electric current to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Schools building out a fuller electrochemistry and energy-conversion teaching sequence often pair it with the Solar Hydrogen Basic Kit, which extends the same electrolysis principle into a solar-powered hydrogen generation and fuel-cell demonstration, and a compatible low-voltage supply such as the Power Supply Unit (1-12V, 6A, AC/DC) or the AC/DC Power Supply (2-14V, 3A) to drive the decomposition reaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Student Water Decomposition Device used for?
It is used to demonstrate water electrolysis, where electric current helps split water into hydrogen and oxygen gases during a supervised school experiment.

Is this device suitable for school students?
Yes. It is suitable for supervised school chemistry, physics, and STEM practical work when used with approved electrolyte, low-voltage DC supply, and proper safety precautions.

What gases are produced during water electrolysis?
Water electrolysis produces hydrogen and oxygen gas at the electrodes; both should be handled in small classroom quantities and away from ignition sources.

Does the device include a power supply?
The standard listing should be treated as the decomposition device only, unless a power supply, leads, stand, or accessories are specifically mentioned.

What electrolyte should be used?
The electrolyte should be selected by the teacher or laboratory technician according to the approved experiment procedure. Do not use unapproved chemicals or excessive concentrations.

What details should be confirmed before purchase?
Confirm vessel capacity, electrode material, power requirement, body material, included accessories, packaging quantity, and whether an experiment guide is supplied — check the product specifications before ordering.
