Meena wants to deposit silver on iron spoon. She took Silver Nitrate i

1.	Meena wants to deposit silver on iron spoon. She took Silver Nitrate in a solution and set up a circuit for electroplating .Which terminal the spoon should be connected to ?What material she should take for the other electrode ?
Answer» The process that Meena wants to setup is Electro plating . So needs to follow the following precautions if silver is to be deposited on iron SPOON: 1. The metal object on which electroplating is to be done should be CONNECTED at cathode [ negative electrode] ---- so spoon at cathode 2. The metal whose LAYER is to be deposited should be connected to positive terminal [ anode] --- so silver metal electrode at anode. 3.A water soluble salt of metal to be deposited is TAKEN at ELECTROLYTE ----so silver nitrate solution is taken as electrolyte.

Answer»

The process that Meena wants to setup is Electro plating .

So needs to follow the following precautions if silver is to be deposited on iron SPOON:

1. The metal object on which electroplating is to be done should be CONNECTED at cathode [ negative electrode] ---- so spoon at cathode

2. The metal whose LAYER is to be deposited should be connected to positive terminal [ anode] --- so silver metal electrode at anode.

3.A water soluble salt of metal to be deposited is TAKEN at ELECTROLYTE ----so silver nitrate solution is taken as electrolyte.
