Electrolysis in industry [Australia] 

++++

Hi!

I'm doing an chemistry assignment but am very confused on the topic. My question: what are the methods utilised for copper and what is the importance of high percentage purity to the metal properties?

Thank you so much.

Attention students! Please try to put your questions in context. For example, are you in 3rd grade or in college, Sarah; and by 'chemistry assignment' do you mean a semester project or a homework question? One reason copper needs to be pure is that copper wire will conduct electricity very poorly unless the copper is quite pure.
