This was the students’ last lab of the block. This lab activity was developed by my colleagues Eli Fahrenkrug and Amanda Bowman in 2018. During lab, students constructed electrochemical cells that perform an electrolytic decomposition of water (a water-splitting reaction). Once assembled, the students tested the efficacy of their electrochemical cells at remediating an organic acid representative of a common wastewater contaminant. Photo by Lonnie Timmons III

Colorado College recognizes and honors the original inhabitants who first settled in the area and who called the nearby highest mountain “Tava,” the original name given by the Ute people to what is now known as Pikes Peak. At CC, we respect all peoples and strive to grow as a unique and welcoming community.
