2. In an electroplating chamber, the anode is a copper rod. What will happen to the anode if the chamber is used to coat copper on iron objects using copper sulphate (Cuso) solution? Will the electrode be damaged? Why?

Bubbles of gas (oxygen) are formed at the anode. With carbon (graphite) electrodes, the oxygen usually reacts with the anode to form CO2. If copper is used for the electrodes, the copper anode dissolves.
