Question

during extraction of metals, electrolytic refining is used to obtain pure metal
a) Which material will be used as anode and cathode for refining of silver metal by this process?
b) Name the electrolyte can be used
c) In this electrolytic cell,where do we get pure silver metal after passing electric current? ​

Answer 1

$\boxed{answer}$

$\mathfrak{defination} \: = >$

$the \: process \: by \: which \: impure \: metals$

$are \: purified \: by \: elecrolysis$

$is \: called \: electrolytic \: refining$



During extraction of metals , electrolytic refining is used to obtain pure metals.

1】 For this process we will use,

a thick block of IMPURE silver metal on Anode.The reduction takes place at Anode.

And, we will take thin strip of PURE silver metal on Cathode.Here , oxidation will take place.

2】 A water soluble salt of silver can be taken as electrolyte.E.x- Silver Cyanide.

3】 After passing electric current

PURE silver metal is produced on the cathode.
