Question

during the electroplating of copper,the copper ions of the copper sulphate solution get attracted towards the cathode and the loss of copper is replaced by the anode which is copper plate. then why the sulphate ions get attracted towards the anode?

Answer 1

The anode (positive electrode ) is made from impure copper and the cathode (negative electrode) is made from pure copper. During electrolysis, the anode loses mass as copper dissolves, and the cathode gains mass as copper is deposited. A half-equation shows what happens at one of the electrodes during electrolysis.
