Question

Describe electroplating in silver brass spoon

Answer 1

Hey mate!


In silver plating, the object to be plated (e.g., a spoon) is made from the cathode of an electrolytic cell. The anode is a bar of silvermetal, and the electrolyte (the liquid in between the electrodes) is a solution of silvercyanide, AgCN, in water. ... This produces a shinier and more adherent silver plating.

Answer 2

$\large \sf{Answer}$

Another important use of electrolytic cells is in the electroplating of silver, gold, chromium and nickel. Thus, the anode bar gradually dissolves to replenish the silver ions in the solution. The net result is that silver metal has been transferred from the anode to the cathode, in this case the spoon.
