Question

Define the following term
b)
Electrolyte
a) Electroplating​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Electroplating involves passing an electric current through a solution called an electrolyte. ... When the electricity flows through the circuit they make, the electrolyte splits up and some of the metal atoms it contains are deposited in a thin layer on top of one of the electrodes—it becomes electroplated

USES OF ELECTROPLATING - DEFINITION

Uses of electroplating:

The most extensive use of gold plating is on jewellery and watch cases.

Zinc coatings prevent the corrosion of steel articles.

Nickel and chromium coated articles are used in automobiles and household appliances.

Zinc coated iron is called Galvanized Iron (GI). This iron is used in water taps (GI pipes), since they have high resistance to corrosion.

DEFINE ELECTROPLATING - DEFINITION

Electroplating is a process of coating one metal on the another. This process is done for decorative purpose or for preventing it from rusting. Example: Coating iron with copper

Answer 2

Answer:

An electrolyte is a substance that produces an electrically conducting solution when dissolved in a polar solvent, such as water. The dissolved electrolyte separates into cations and anions, which disperse uniformly through the solvent. Electrically, such a solution is neutral.

b.Electroplating is the process of applying a metal coating on another piece of metal (or another conductive surface) through an electro-deposition process. In electroplating, the deposited metal becomes part of the existing product with the plating/coating.
