Re: Copper Sulphate and the rate of electrolysis...

Dear Mr. Collins;

Yes, the distance between the electrodes does affect the resistance in the 
electrolyte solution. 

The resistance will be directly proportional to the distance between the 
electrodes, all else being equal.
 
Consider the "ideal" example of a tube of constant diameter, filled with 
the electrolyte, with the tube ends capped with the electrodes. There will 
be a certain electrical resistance between the electrodes. Now consider a 
second set-up identical to this, but with a tube twice as long. The 
resistance between the electrodes will be twice that of the first tube.

I hope this answers your question, if not, contact me directly via eMail.
