Question

Describe what happens to iron object and copper rod when iron is electroplated with copper

Answer 1

copper gets displaced from copper rod and a thin layer of copper gets deposited on iron

Answer 2

Answer:

When an Iron object is to be electroplated with copper, both the object and the Copper electrode are connected with a battery and inserted in the electrolyte. Here the electrolyte used is the Copper sulphate solution. Here Cu is made the anode[the metal which is to be deposited] and the Iron object is made the cathode.
