Question

Explain the electroplating process of a silver spoon

Answer 1

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 silver metal, and the electrolyte (the liquid in between the electrodes) is a solution of silver cyanide, AgCN, in water. ... This produces a shinier and more adherent silver plating.

Answer 2

$\large \sf{Answer}$

In silver plating, the object to be plated (e.g., a spoon) is made from the cathode of an electrolytic cell.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.
