Question

A copper vessel is to be electroplated with silver. Name the anode, cathode and the electrolyte you will use for this purpose. Draw a labelled sketch of the experimental set-up used for this purpose and explain it

Answer 1

Answer:

For the electroplating of a copper vessel, the vessel is used as the cathode, sodium argentocyanide salt is used as the electrolyte, and a strip of metal silver is used as the anode. ... So, sodium argentocyanide Na[Ag(CN)₂] is chosen as the electrolyte, so that it dissociates and give Ag+ ions
