A very detailed summary! Got a bit confused with the whole "what happens at the anode!" "what happens with the cathode!"

very helpful especially as i fail so badly at chemistry slightly random question but i was just wondering about the 'supermegafoxyawesomehot' in the last question and are you a starkid by any chance? if so then that makes this quiz even more totally awesome and if not then you probably don't have a clue what I'm going on about but good quiz :)

Overall, an excellent & helpful quiz about Electrolysis.

In Q.32, the correct answer states that at the cathode, Copper is formed. Therefore, in Q.28, how can the anode get thicker? Shouldn't it be cathode which will get thicker?
