For the textbook, chapter, and section you specified we found
Electrolysis of several aqueous solutions is carried out using a 9-V battery and pencil leads as electrodes. Because only the electrodes are shown in the videos, it is important to show these still images
or describe how the reactions were performed if students are to make sense of the videos. In each case the anode is on the left and a 9-V battery has been connected to the lead of each of the pencils near the eraser end with an alligator clip.
The Electrochemical Synthesis of Transition-Metal AcetylacetonatesS. R. Long, S. R. Browning, and J. J. Lagowski The electrochemical synthesis of transition-metal acetylacetonates can assist in the transformation of an entry-level laboratory course into a research-like environment where all members of a class are working on the same problem, but each student has a personal responsibility for the synthesis and characterization of a specific compound. Long, S. R.; Browning, S. R.; Lagowski, J. J. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 1429.

New Observations on the Copper-to-Silver-to-Gold DemonstrationDorin Bejan, Jeff Hastie, and Nigel J. Bunce This analysis of the classic copper-to-silver-to-gold demonstration describes the deposition of zinc in the form of the silver-colored alloy ?-brass, the evolution of hydrogen at the copper cathode, and the behavior of the associated electrochemical cell. Bejan, Dorin; Hastie, Jeff; Bunce, Nigel J. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 1381.

Introducing Undergraduate Students to Electrochemistry: A Two-Week Discovery Chemistry ExperimentKenneth V. Mills, Richard S. Herrick, Louise W. Guilmette, Lisa P. Nestor, Heather Shafer, and Mauri A. Ditzler, Within the framework of a laboratory-focused, guided-inquiry pedagogy, students discover the Nernst equation, the spontaneity of galvanic cells, concentration cells, and the use of electrochemical data to calculate equilibrium constants. Mills, Kenneth V.; Herrick, Richard S.; Guilmette, Louise W.; Nestor, Lisa P.; Shafer, Heather;Ditzler, Mauri A. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 1116.
