Question

A copper spoon requires gold plating. Specify the materials of the cathode and the anode.

Answer 1

$\huge \sf \red{ANSWER}$

Almost all the gold used for contacts in the electronic industry is derived from potassium gold cyanide. The cathode reaction is again the formation of potassium hydroxide and hydrogen. A divided cell is required in both cases to prevent the product formed in the anode compartment from plating out at the cathode.
